Shawn Lemon returns for 2nd stint with Riders
Shawn Lemon feels he owes something to Saskatchewan as he returns for his second stint with the Roughriders.
The dynamic pass rusher had an underwhelming start to his CFL career in 2011 when he was in and out of Winnipeg within days and then landed in Saskatchewan for a brief two weeks.
He did get to suit up for the Riders but didn’t make the grade on a team that went 5-13 that season. But the humbling few weeks to start off his CFL career helped make Lemon into the all-star calibre defensive end the Riders brought in to help replace John Chick off the edge.
“(I’m) completely different. I’m more open to learning new styles and implement a lot of different stuff into my game and I’ve learned from most of the great coaches in the league to help me combine what I do today,” he said.
