Rider Game Day: ‘Student of the game’ Matt Vonk ready for second career start
Matt Vonk’s opportunity to shine has been a long time coming.
Although his first career starts are coming with the Riders due to the injuries of his veteran offensive linemates, he’s ready to embrace the job he’s been given.
Vonk was drafted by the Roughriders in the fifth round of the 2013 CFL draft. He played his first game in 2014 and dressed as a backup here and there after that.
Three years later – after a long and mostly patient wait – he’s going into his second start Friday against Edmonton.
