Friday night was another milestone for Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Trevor Harris.<\/p>\n
Harris became just the 12th quarterback in CFL history to surpass 40,000 career passing yards, reaching the mark early in Saskatchewan\u2019s win over the Ottawa Redblacks. While the accomplishment puts Harris among some of the league\u2019s all-time passing greats, the veteran quarterback was quick to deflect the attention.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be able to do that on a professional level is something that just blows my mind,\u201d Harris said. \u201cI just try and stay focused on the small things.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harris added that he remains grateful for the opportunity to continue playing quarterback for the Roughriders.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never, ever, ever take it for granted,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m really thankful that I get to do this. To join the 40K club is pretty cool. I think it just means maybe I\u2019m getting a little older though.\u201d<\/p>\n
The milestone was made a little more meaningful by the quarterback on the other side of the field. Ottawa\u2019s Jake Maier spent the 2025 season as Harris\u2019 backup in Saskatchewan before signing with the Redblacks in the offseason. Maier said Harris\u2019 approach to preparation made a lasting impression during their time together.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrevor is the ultimate preparation guy,\u201d Maier said. \u201cJust has a really nice routine that he was gracious enough to pass on to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maier said the relationship between the quarterbacks in Saskatchewan extended beyond the football field, and that camaraderie has continued even after he left the organization.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re still close today. We\u2019re still really, really good friends,\u201d Maier said.<\/p>\n
Maier admitted he looked up to Harris during his time with the Roughriders and continues to stay in touch with the veteran quarterback throughout the season and offseason.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re pretty close,\u201d Maier said.<\/p>\n
For Harris, the 40,000-yard milestone adds another accomplishment to an already impressive CFL career, but his focus remains on the next play and helping the Roughriders win.<\/p>\n
