Former Alabama cornerback Deion Belue has signed with the Canadian Football League's Edmonton Eskimos on Sunday, May 31, as a defensive back, according to the team's website.

As a senior for the Crimson Tide in 2013, Belue registered 20 total tackles (17 solo), three pass breakups, one interception, one tackle for loss and one blocked kick in 11 games. In 2012 as a junior, he recorded much better numbers as he was healthy, tallying 40 total tackles, seven pass breakups, 6.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions and one fumble return for a touchdown.

On the Eskimos' updated depth chart, Belue is listed as the team's second-team halfback on defense. In the CFL, teams are allowed to place 12 players on the field at the same time. Edmonton began training camp Sunday.

Belue is the second former Crimson Tide player to sign a CFL contract this offseason, joining quarterback Blake Sims, who recently signed with the Toronto Argonauts.
