, Weston's 'number two' has joined his.With his career starting at BHS, and then moving on to UND and now most recently with the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders, Dressler has become highly decorated.But instead of concentrating on his own triumphs, Dressler
spoke of his teammates and the impact his coaches have had on his career.While

Dressler's BHS jersey is being retired, his current Roughriders jersey is being admired.

He won the 'Molson Cup' given to the most popular Saskatchewan player of the year" (WESTON DRESSLER/ FORMER BHS FOOTBALL STAR) it was pretty cool the first few times you see that jersey, with the Dressler on the back of it and getting to talk to those fans is really special too because they're so passionate about the game and they just love watching the players play and you can really connect with them because they're their to support the team and really enjoy the game

"While Dressler is now popular in Canada, his hometown certainly hasn't forgotten him either.His Bismarck High coaches still refer to him as one of the most competitive players they can remember."(MARK GIBSON/ BHS FOOTBALL COACH)

Weston was a kid that we're never gonna see what he did before again I mean he's a remarkable young man and you know a lot of things that he accomplished were things that people told me he couldn't possibly do he not only exceeded that he went far above and beyond that I think some things that Weston is not only a great football player for us but he was a class act off the field as well.

"Its a big week for Weston. There's an autograph signing scheduled for this weekend at 'Universal Athletic.' watch the video save this article / add to your favorites list
