ORLANDO (UCFKnights.com) – While the Knights were winning their 10th straight game to start the season this past weekend, a number of former Knights were having success on the field in the NFL and the CFL.
When the Calgary Stampeders and the Toronto Argonauts face off for the 105th Grey Cup on Sunday, Nov. 26, three former Knights will be aiming to win coveted prize.
Six-year CFL vet Joe Burnett helped lead his Stampeders to the Grey Cup at cornerback and return duties. Burnett has totaled an 12 tackles and an interception in 2017.
The Argonauts have two former Knights on the squad, as Terrance Plummer and Troy Davis look to lead Toronto to a title. Plummer had three tackles and an interception in the semifinal win over Saskatchewan.
Sunday's Grey Cup is set for a 6 p.m. kickoff and can be watched in the U.S. on WatchESPN.
