Roughriders sign RB William Powell
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are shoring up the run game, signing the league’s second-best rusher in 2018.
The club announced it has locked up former Ottawa Redblacks running back William Powell, signing him to a two-year deal that keeps him with the team through 2020.
Powell has been a top running back in the league the last two seasons, most recently rushing for 1,362 yards and six touchdowns for an average of 5.4 yards per carry.
