Savard (6’1-215 lbs) joins the Riders after spending five collegiate seasons at the University of Sherbrooke.

In 2018, he played in the East-West Bowl and also earned an invite to the 2019 CFL Eastern Regional Combine.
Suell (6’6-205lbs) joins the Roughriders after most recently playing in the Spring League. In 2020, he helped the Generals win the Championship scoring one touchdown and earning 100 yards on four receptions in the final game. The Washington native spent five collegiate seasons at the University of Southern Oregon where he made 112 receptions for 2,184 yards and 27 touchdowns. Suell had an impressive filmed pro day where he clocked a 40-yard dash in 4.49 and 4.52 seconds. He worked out for the New England Patriots this past January.
