3DownNation top 100 CFL players: No. 79 RET Janarion Grant, Free Agent - 3DownNation
Is it really fair to claim that someone is one of the CFL's top 100 players if they've only dressed for 14 games?

3DownNation top 100 CFL players: No. 72 SAM Anthony Cioffi, Ottawa Redblacks - 3DownNation
CFL roster sizes are limited. This is part of what makes Antony Cioffi -- one of the most versatile defenders in the league -- so valuable.

The broken ankle detailed Grant's career. I am very happy to see him out there being successful, and making some money doing it.
Big time. It also derailed our offense that year, because Wonder Boy didn't have any other tricks up his sleeve other than using Grant.
What made it worse was that Iowa player that jumped on him. It was a dirty tackle. I was sitting in front of that play and it seemed to me he was trying to take Grant out of the game.
Cioffi had 2 x small shots with JETS, and wish he made the full time roster. what a work-horse !! Hoping he gets another shot.
If he doesn’t break his ankle against Iowa we would have beaten the Hawkeyes that beautiful Saturday. Oh and if the kid from Wequahic in Newark stays home they probably don’t score that day.
Does Grant have a good chance to stick to a team? And is Cioffi still on Ottawa?
Quick Google search says CFL is cancelled in 2020...so what does this mean for them?

NIRH, don’t quote me on this, but I think the CFL free agent rules after a player leaves to try the NFL gives his old team first try at getting their old player back.
Grant is an amazing player. When he was here at RU I thought he was going to get a touch down every time he got the ball. If not for those two fumbles in the NFL he would have stuck. And yes that play that broke his ankle sucked. For a while I thought the defender stepped on his ankle on purpose but it wasn't on purpose. Grant was going to have a big roll in the offense that year.
Brookedale - not sure if you are being serious but there's no way the injury was intentional. As Extra Point mentioned, Grant's ankle was stepped on - while both players were running full speed. Grant wasn't "jumped on". That injury was crushing - but think of it this way, would Ash still be here if Grant wasn't injured that day? Would we have won a few more games that year and delayed Ash's firing by another year? Probably not with Laviano trying to run the option and keeping it himself. I think my slightly arthritic right thumb is more athletic than Laviano was as a QB. lol
But I digress.
Grant ended his career with 5 kickoff TDs and 3 punt TDs. His 5 TDs is tied for 9th all time with the record being 7 for a career. He may have gotten it without the broken ankle.
Grant would have had a great chance to set a new record that season... what was that game 3-4 ? Uncanny ability and a good guy as well.
"Grant also contributed on offence in college, recording 1,406 yards from scrimmage and six scores on 135 touches. He was second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference as a true freshman and second-team All-Big Ten as a junior. "3DownNation top 100 CFL players: No. 79 RET Janarion Grant, Free Agent - 3DownNation

All ACC? Wow, now that's an accomplishment, second team all conference in a conference he never even played in.
NIRH, CFL season would normally be heading into the playoffs and Grey Cup now. I think their training camps begin in early June. Pray that things are much closer to normal by then. This may delay the CFL expansion too.
