Saskatchewan Roughriders’ defensive back Tevaughn Campbell knew he needed to catch up on remembering the CFL game.
“When I played… they changed the hashes. The hashes are different here, which is kind of the same as the NFL now, but I got it in my mind. CFL you’re playing field to boundary, there’s a big difference,” Campbell told to the voice of the Riders, Dave Thomas.
“Now it’s kind of not the case. The hashes and the downs are different. The way I got used to that again, the number one receiver can motion on the line. Little intricacies of CFL.”
“I was sitting at home for a long period saying: ‘I feel like I still got it,'” Campbell recalled. “I had a long discussion with my fiancé about it, I had to return. I got to see what I got left in the tank. It was more about talking to myself: ‘You can do this. You could go back out there. You could compete at this level again.’ When you get released from a team, your confidence goes down, you’re sitting at home thinking: ‘Damn, when am I going to get another shot?’ And this is my shot.”
Riders’ head coach Corey Mace has nothing but positive things to share about Campbell.
Campbell appreciates the talent Saskatchewan has in the secondary.
“They know what they’re doing. They talk, they communicate. They’re real with you, whatever you’ve got going on the field. They’re going to make sure you get the call, make sure you’re doing the right thing,” Campbell detailed. “If you’re not, they’re going to back you up. It’s definitely a family over here. It’s very tight.”
