Williams is not your typical training camp RB fodder. He is probably the most highly-regarded rookie RB to come to the Argos since James Wilder or Cory Boyd. 20 rushing TDs over 3 seasons for Ohio State speaks volumes about him.

Obviously big talent is no guarantee of CFL success, but if Williams was 3 inches taller he would likely be in the NFL. If he looks good at camp it would sure be a shame to lose the 23-year-old all because of the apparently afterthought signing of the 32-year-old Carey.

I hope he is able to remain an Argo. He is the best punter in the league and tilts the field in Argos favour. Surprised other teams don't want that advantage. With his band John Haggarty and the Beaver Brown Band based in Toronto his dual income here gives the Argos an edge.

Funny I actually heard that band on the radio today! But as a comic in all seriousness, I find it odd Haggarty didn't receive several NFL tryouts after the year he had, yet Julien got a contract and the Hamilton P got NFL attention too. I fully expect Haggarty to return to the Argo fold for 2025 and beyond.

Julien set the all-time , pro football (i.e. CFL & NFL) single season punting average mark last season; you find it odd that he would get an NFL look ?

I found it odd that Haggarty didn't. Nothing more.
