<\/p>\n\u201cIt wasn\u2019t a whole bunch of fun. It was a nine-month recovery to get back for that Winnipeg game and then to have it crumble a little bit in a sense in front of you when you first get back, it\u2019s not a fun experience. It was not enjoyable but I had a lot of good people in my corner to help me get through it,\u201d the Calgary, Alta. product said.<\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
Now he\u2019s back and has been able to become a key contributor for the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI owe this front office and coaching staff everything for my pro career at this point,\u201d Wiebe said. \u201cThey took a chance on me, drafting me as high as they did with the knee injury. It means everything that they have been so patient up to this point in this process as well and just work with me and make sure I am healthy before I get out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was also a scare for Wiebe this season as he once again suffered a knee injury as well. Luckily, it only kept him out for a game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was more of a scare in a sense. Just planted, tweaked it wrong and it was the same knee the traumatic injuries have happened on,\u201d Wiebe said. \u201cIt was a more proactive one-game and just take it off and make sure the knee is good and got those MRIs and and nonsense done.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust tweaked it up a bit but threw the brace back on it so we are all good now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old currently leads the Riders with 12 special-teams tackles. He will look to help the Riders beat the Montreal Alouettes and clinch a playoff spot. Kickoff for the game is set for 5 p.m. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been awesome. Guys have helped me along the way. It\u2019s pseudo my rookie year to an extent,\u201d Wiebe said. \u201cHaving guys like Jayden Dalke and A.J. Allen and Benoit Marion to help me along when I ask questions or need help technique-wise or anything like that, those guys have been instrumental in where I am at right now and getting me up to speed to where I can play at a high-level.\u201d<\/p>\n
One thing he has had to learn is to be patient as the former U Sports standout waits for an opportunity to make his first career start.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year with (Jameer Thurman), I basically followed him around with a notepad just to see what being a pro looks like. Having guys in the locker room like that is huge but the patience is a massive part of playing in the CFL,\u201d Wiebe said.<\/p>\n
