It’s a clean sweep of the draft class of 2022 for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The green and white announced they have signed their first overall pick from this year, Canadian Samuel Emilus.

Emilus is coming to the Riders after spending some time at the Arizona Cardinals rookie mini camp.

The 6 foot 1, 200 pound receiver played his last year of US College ball at Louisiana Tech, getting into eight games for the Bulldogs.  He had 17 catches for 257 yards, and three touchdowns.  Before playing at Louisiana, the Montreal native played three years at the University of Massachusetts, getting  into 22 games as both a receiver and a kick returner.

With this signing, the Saskatchewan Roughriders now have every player drafted this year, under contract.
