Fans will have a chance to catch passes from Darian Durant at upcoming Saskatchewan Rush game



Darian Durant played 10 of his 11 CFL seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and he became a fan favourite among Roughriders fans after he helped lead the franchise to a Grey Cup title in 2013. Although it’s been a few years since he last suited up for the Roughriders, it doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten about him in Saskatchewan.

This weekend, the reigning NLL champion Saskatchewan Rush will host the former CFL quarterback when they take on the Rochester Knighthawks in a rematch of last year’s championship and he’ll help provide some of the halftime entertainment.

It’s safe to say Durant will get a very warm ovation from the home crowd when he’s introduced on Saturday night.
