Reminds Me of Clermont

If you want to get it from the horse's mouth, here it is.

This is quite the read on what its like in the CFL, straight from one of its own. I couldn't help but think of the Jason Clermont situation while reading this.

Clermont comes home to play with the Riders, but doesn't have the numbers that fans are accustom to seeing from the Regina product. Why? Are his skills diminishing? Is he miscast in the scheme? Plethora of receivers in Green & White?

I don't think its any one answer, but probably a number of factors for the reduced numbers, but there is one key stat that isn't kept that doesn't show Clermont's contribution to the Riders.

Coach Miller touched on it this week how the veteran receiver has not once made any noise about his role. In fact, he's been quite the opposite. Clermont continues to be a pro, helping the younger receivers and even at times the coaches. His hands are still as good as gold and his determination is second to none.

Players like Derrick Armstrong could maybe look at the 2-Time Most Outstanding Canadian and learn a thing or two. It seems all of the Riders receivers are!

Don't think for a second that Andy Fantuz doesn't look over and notice how Clermont carries himself. It could only help the younger become an even more complete player.

So while the numbers may be down, the contribution appears never to have been higher.
