There may be high expectations from outside the Riders’ organization due to Young’s experience. He was the NFL’s offensive rookie of the year in 2006 and a Pro Bowler in 2006 and 2009, but hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game since 2011 with the Eagles.

Regardless, there won’t be any additional pressure put on the quarterback from inside the organization.

“I told him just to be Vince and don’t try to be Superman,’’ Jones said. “I just need him to be Vince and do the things that he did in college and he did early in his NFL career. I told him to be a good person, be a good leader and do the things that the quarterbacks do. That’s what we’re looking for Vince to do.’’

Young will still have to prove to the Riders that he can handle the CFL game if he’s to earn an invitation to the main training camp, which opens on May 28 in Saskatoon.

“He better not come in and look bad,’’ Jones said. “He had better show that he knows what he’s doing because we don’t have years to wait for him. It’s come in and do it or not because he’s 33 years old. If he looks great, he’ll stay. If not, he’ll go home like everyone else.’’

Young’s presence underlines the Riders’ need for a quarterback heading into the 2017 season. The Riders are in that situation after trading starter Darian Durant to the Montreal Alouettes on Jan. 13 for draft picks after contract negotiations reached an impasse.

At the time of the trade, Jones promised to leave “no stone unturned’’ in the team’s search for a quarterback.
