OTTAWA - One of the most electrifying players in Ottawa REDBLACKS history has returned to the team.
Following a stint with the NFL's Miami Dolphins, the REDBLACKS announced, today, that star returner DeVonte Dedmon will join the team for the remainder of the 2022 season.
“You know how you go to summer camp, and you meet new people," said Dedmon. "Then the school year starts, and you are back with your Day 1 crew?”
"I'm back with my family."
Dedmon, 26, broke out with Ottawa during the 2021 season, following a standout rookie campaign in 2019. He totalled 2,841 return yards, and with three touchdowns, became the fastest player in CFL history to record five return touchdowns in his career. For his efforts, Dedmon was named the CFL’s Most Outstanding Special Teams Player, along with earning CFL All-Star honours.
The Williamsburg, Virginia native also chipped in on offence, with Dedmon hauling in 103 receiving yards, 68 rushing yards, and a touchdown.
"Devonte has proven himself to be a top player in our league who is always a threat with the ball in his hands,” said REDBLACKS Head Coach Paul LaPolice. “It’s exciting for the team to be able to add a player of his calibre to the roster and we’re happy to have him back in the mix.”
