Seven seasons into his Canadian Football League career, Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Trevor Harris is at the “been there, done that” stage, with some things still on his to-do list.

Asked for his thoughts on the arrival of Manziel, the much-hyped 25-year-old who played two seasons with the National Football League’s Cleveland Browns before being released in March of 2016, Harris said: “Good luck to him.

Harris said no player coming north of the border should take for granted the challenges the CFL brings: “I’ve yet to see somebody come up here and say, “Oh man, I really overestimated the talent.’ Everybody comes up and says, ‘Wow, this is good football. We have some dudes out here who can really play.’ Their mindset goes from ‘I’m going to be the best player in the league’ to ‘I’m just going to try and make the team.’
