It turned out to be a case of, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, for Logan Kilgore.

While he might be new to Edmonton Eskimos training camp, he’s certainly no stranger to the team.

The former Toronto Argonauts quarterback started a game against the Eskimos in 2016, and barely had to be reminded of how it began with Mike Reilly throwing a pick-six …

“in Toronto, first play of the game,” Kilgore, interjected. “To Keyon Raymond. Yeah, he did.”

Good memory of a game that didn’t yield the best result for Kilgore, who was pulled as the Eskimos posted their highest points total of the season, doubling the Argos 46-23.

“That game wasn’t my greatest memory,” he said. “But I’ve admired the Eskimos from afar. I’ve had friends and teammates, Natey (Adjei) and I were in Toronto together my first year and we’d come back and talk pre-game. He’s just bragging about the support they have in the community and the love for the team and all the resources here.

“So I’m definitely thankful to be on this side of it.”
