Roughriders announce signings of receiver, defensive back

The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Monday the signings of a pair of American players.

Receiver Darvin Kidsy and defensive back Will Sunderland agreed to terms with the CFL team.

The 26-year-old played three seasons at the University of North Texas and one at Southern Texas University. In addition to playing receiver, he also handled return duties.

The 6-foot-4, 196-pound Sunderland comes to the CFL after stints in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts and Seahawks.

His college career included stops at Oklahoma and Troy. He played safety and cornerback in college.
