Juron Criner brings NFL experience to Redblacks TC in hopes that it will help him make the team.

A fifth-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders in 2012, he lasted two years there — catching 16 passes for 151 yards in his rookie season. Then, after being released by the Raiders, he spent 11 months on the practice roster of the New York Giants, who cut him loose last September following training camp.
Criner is in training camp with the Ottawa Redblacks. He doesn’t look back at his NFL experience bitterly. It’s just something he’s looking to build on, hopeful he gets a chance to play football in Canada’s capital city.
Determined after being let go by the Giants, he worked out and waited. The Redblacks came calling and signed Criner in mid-April. ... “You just stay on top of your game, stay in the best shape you can and be ready when the opportunity comes,” he said. ...
“He catches the ball, I know that,” Redblacks coach Rick Campbell said. “It seems like every time the ball is thrown his way, he makes catches. And, most importantly, he makes contested catches, not just the routine catches. When a guy is right next to him, he makes difficult catches. I’m excited to see him play in live action because he’s shown well so far.”
