Dan LeFevour, a former Central Michigan Chippewas quarterback, has signed with the Hamilton Tiger Cats in the Canadian Football League.
Earlier this year, he was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the National Football League. He also had a tryout with the New York Giants, as well.
“I bounced around the NFL for two years with a bunch of teams and I was sick of just standing around — I want to play the game,” he said. “Football is my identity to a certain extent and I want to continue with it as long as I can.”
