San Jose SaberCats News Release
SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose SaberCats free agent frenzy continued on Friday, as the team announced the assignment of 2013 Wide Receiver of the Year Adron Tennell.
"Tennell has proven to be a top player in this league," said Owner and Head Coach Darren Arbet. "His athleticism, desire to win and strong relationship with [quarterback] Erik Meyer makes him a great fit for our organization."

In an injury shortened season in 2014, he caught 58 passes for 574 yards and ten touchdowns. In 2013, Tennell - on the receiving end of Meyer's MVP season - earned WR of the Year and First-Team All-Arena honors, recording 156 catches for 1,792 yards and a Shock franchise record of 49 touchdown receptions. In 2012, he posted his first breakout season, setting Spokane records of 157 receptions, 1,810 yards, 40 touchdowns and 240 points scored. As a rookie with the Shock in 2011, Tennell caught 42 passes for 469 yards and 13 scores.
