Albright was a member of the 1989 Grey Cup Cup champion Roughriders team. One of his most memorable plays was when he recovered a fumble and scored a touchdown in the 1989 Western Final against Edmonton.
Albright established a new record for tackles in a single season with 118 in 1987. Darnell Sankey broke Albright’s record this past season.
