    This guy is giving the Argos more exposure than any news media and it looks like he has a big time leg, which is kind of surprising seeing he's only 170 pounds. He might even sell more tickets because of you tube than any of the team stars to the younger generation. Who knew. He's got one other thing going for him beside his leg, the Coach likes him.

    Watched a couple of his videos. He seems very excited to be here. Also interesting that he gave up his NCAA career to keep his YouTube Channel.

    Apparently Toronto immediately got 20,000 more Instagram followers and lept well ahead of Saskatchewan for most IF followers.

    Great news! YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. are where the Argonauts are going to find new fans and grow the fanbase. TV Commercials and Paper Pocket Schedules are the past.

    Question is, how many are actually within range to come to a game? If all these new followers are across the US, it doesn't really amount to anything where the Argos are concerned, except maybe for the opportunity to sell some merch.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    A percentage will be. And you don't have to attend games to be a fan or be part of the fanbase. For example I know many leaf fans who have never been to a leaf game. They still watch the games and consider themselves leaf fans.

    True -- but the problem the Argos have that the Leafs don't have is butts in the seats.

    Except for the fact that Argos merchandise can’t be shipped to the USA.

    Yeah when you read the comments on his Argos video there were numerous people who said that they were from Toronto and were going to go to TC to see him.

    I'm enjoying the extra publicity and love the Argos are getting through this and hope that he legitimately makes the team.

    They should put him on the Practice Roster and have him keep making videos.

    Waste of a roster spot unless the Argos think he has potential.

    He's apparently doing well as a FG kicker. Not sure of his punting. But his passport may be an issue.

    Not for this team. The Argonauts need all the help they can get to draw attention from his dempgraphic.

    Here's an example:
