Signed to a reserve/future contract back in January, Alford was the ultimate “what if” prospect. Standing at a towering 6-foot-6 and weighing 224 pounds, the Montreal native possessed the kind of unteachable physical traits that make offensive coordinators salivate. He wasn’t just a big body, either—he carried real pedigree as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 CFL Draft, coming off a highly productive 15-game stint with the Calgary Stampeders where he averaged a massive 20.4 yards per catch and hauled in five touchdowns.
