We are pleased to be joined by the 4th overall selection in the 2015 CFL Draft and current Montreal Alouette, Chris Ackie!
Chris gives us his thoughts on the one-year deals CFL players prefer to sign and the reason behind doing so. He also peels back the curtain to behind the scenes when Montreal traded him to Ottawa late in the 2018 season and how he acclimated to a new locker room.
Speaking of the 2018 season, Chris lets us know how he felt about the "Johnny Manziel Era" and what it takes for former NFL players to succeed in the CFL. 2019 was a rebound year for the Alouettes in more ways than one, they rebuilt the culture after years of mediocrity. Chris gives us a background on which leaders helped usher in a new era of Alouettes football.
Finally, we ask Chris a few questions about the man behind the mask. Who is Chris Ackie the person? What does he like to do? Listen to find out!
As always, thank you for listening, you can find us on social media The Amateur Agency.
Be sure to follow Chris Ackie on his CFL journey!
