10 QUESTIONS WITH WESTON DRESSLER


It has been a different type of off-season for slotback Weston Dressler, the third year pro had his 2009 season cut short due to a leg injury which occured in Week 15. The rehab has been going well, and barring any major setbacks Weston is expected to return to full strength for the 2010 regular season.We had a chance to catch up with the former CFL Most Outstanding


Rookie and ask him a few questions.

Where have you been spending the Off-Season?
The majority of my off-season has been split fairly evenly between my home in Bismark, ND and here in Regina.


What have you been up to since the 09' season ended?I've been busy this off-season doing a lot of charity work with the Red Cross, as well as obviously rehabbing and working out to prepare for the upcoming season and another run at the Grey Cup.


What was the first thing you did when the season ended?I headed home to Bismarck and spent some time with my family.


What are you looking forward to most about getting back on the playing field?The biggest thing for me is just seeing all the guys again, and of course the atmosphere in Regina on gamedays.


If you had to narrow it down to one thing, what would be your favourite thing about being a Roughrider?The fans, without a doubt.


How do you feel about all the changes that have taken place in Riderville?There will be plenty of opportunities for new guys to step in and make plays. There are also some new challenges anytime you add new coaches to the staff, but I definitely feel positive about all the changes taking place.


What's your favourite memory from college football?Going to Northern Iowa and beating the #3 team in the nation, even though they were a division above us.


What's playing on your ipod right now?There's a lot to choose from, I guess the last thing I listened to would've been Linkin Park.


What's the last movie you saw?Shutter Island. Loved the twist at the end.


What is one thing Rider Nation doesn't know about you?Rider Nation is so smart, they know everything!


Despite his season being cut short, Weston still finished with a team high 62 receptions for 941 yards, to go along with four touchdowns on his way to being named a CFL Western Division All Star. In just two seasons with the Riders, the speedy slotback has receiving totals of 118 receptions, 2064 yards, 10 touchdowns and has consistently been a big play threat, averaging 17.5 yards a catch.
