The Roughriders have announced that Dave Jackson, Matt Applebaum, Dwayne Cameron, and Angus Reid will be our guest coaches in Saskatoon at the 2015 training camp.

I like that in addition to his camp duties, Dave Jackson will remain with the club as a kind of coaching intern. It’s a great opportunity for him and the Riders are fortunate to have the former Regina Thunder special teams coordinator.

Saskatchewan Roughriders Training Camp: Be Our Guest

It’s interesting to note that the team has announced two guest coaches to work with OL coach Dan Dorazio. If that’s not a sign that it’s an area where the Riders are literally paying extra attention to, then I don’t know what is.

A few players to watch this week

DL Rory Connop – Son of Eskimo legend OL Rod Connop. The Riders third round draft pick in 2015 may find himself in the mix on the defensive line if he can outwork international NT Derrick Walker over the next ten to fifteen days.

FB Matt Rea – The Riders selected Rea in the fourth round of the 2015 draft. The physical younger and cheaper FB should push Scott McHenry, who spent all year rehabbing a devastating injury, for his spot on the depth chart.

WR Jamel Richardson – If nothing else, it will be fun to see Richardson come full circle and wear the green and white again. Will his body allow him to the amazing things we’ve seen him do in the past? Do the Riders even have room with all the bright prospects?

Get out to Griffiths Stadium at the University of Saskatchewan and enjoy the first tastes of summer for all CFL fans. More news and quotes from the Saskatchewan Roughriders 2015 training camp in Saskatoon/PA to follow. Be sure to bookmark, add, follow, etc.
