FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MISSISSAUGA – The Toronto Argonauts Football Club is pleased to welcome back hard-hitting, import linebacker Greg Blue and introduce big, speedy, import receiver Eric McCain.
Greg Blue attended 2010 Argonauts training camp and the smash-mouth YouTube highlights fans were treated to before his arrival were even more impressive in person. The tough linebacker from Georgia was a fifth round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2006. He dressed for all of Minnesota’s 16 games as a rookie, played on special teams, and recorded 14 tackles. Blue also suited up for four games with the NFL’s Detroit Lions in 2007. The Georgia University product didn’t miss a game while playing college football for the Bulldogs. In his final two seasons, he recorded 156 tackles, three forced fumbles and two interceptions. As a senior, he earned All-SEC honours and was named First-Team All-American.
Eric McCain is a 6-foot, 6-inch receiver who has speed to burn. He was crowned a National Junior College Football champion in 2005 and was twice named First-Team All-Conference in his two seasons at Glendale C.C. McCain later helped the Indoor Football League’s Billings Outlaws to their first league championship in 2009 and gained CFL experience when he attended B.C. Lions training camp the same year.
