ALOUETTES SIGN “JOYSTICK”

The Montreal Alouettes announced on Monday that the club has signed international running back Stefan Logan to a one-year deal.

Logan (5’6″, 180 lbs.)  has proved throughout his career that he is a versatile player, including last season with the BC Lions, when he amassed 1,748 all-purpose yards, including 625 rushing yards on 116 carries while scoring a touchdown.

“Stefan will bring invaluable experience and a triple threat to the offensive side of the ball,” declared Alouettes General Manager Jim Popp. “His ability to take any given play for a touchdown as a running back, receiver and returner gives us many options.”

The 33-year old first broke into the CFL with BC in 2008 before joining the Pittsburgh Steelers the following season where he set a franchise record with 1,466 kickoff return yards. He then suited up for the Detroit Lions for three seasons, not missing a start and cumulating 2,877 yards on 116 kickoff returns, including a franchise record-tying 105-yard touchdown return in 2010. In four seasons in the NFL, the Tampa, FL native cumulated 5,782 all-purpose yards.

During his four years with the South Dakota University Coyotes, he amassed 6,986 all-purpose yards while setting 17 team records. He became the first player in the North Central Conference to rush for over 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons.
