CFL Update

Some quick updates:

Chad Mock has been signed to the BC Lions practice squad.

UPDATE 6/23/07: Stephen Tsai talks to Chad about it.

While waiting for a promotion to the active roster, Mock said, "I'm taking it as my redshirt year. It's a good learning experience."
It wasn't easy to earn a spot, even on the practice squad. The CFL limits the number of Americans on each team.
"There were other American receivers," Mock said. "There were only a few spots open. I'm glad I got one. It's very big for me. You've got to start somewhere. I'm starting from the bottom. I have to work my way up. I've done it before. I can do it again. Eventually I'll get there. It's a long season. Anything can happen.

And Timmy Chang got some playing time late in the 4th quarter of the final Hamilton Tiger-Cats preseason game. Looks like Chang will start the season as a top backup, which is great news. I think by the middle of the season, he'll be getting a lot of playing time.
