Everett Sports Marketing also shared this caption along with its photo on Instagram: "Proud to announce Blake Sims has signed a 3 year deal to play quarterback for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League!"

Sims was not chosen in the seven rounds of the 2015 NFL Draft, but he did earn rookie mini-camp tryouts with the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins. The former Crimson Tide standout did not sign an NFL contract with either team.

Last season, his only season as a starter under center at Alabama, Sims threw for school-record 3,487 yards, 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions on 252-of-391 passing. He also ran for 350 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 83 attempts.
