Saskatchewan Roughrider General Manager/Vice President of Football Operations Eric Tillman announced today they have acquired import receiver Thyron Anderson from the Montreal Alouettes. In return, the Alouettes will receive a conditional 2008 draft choice from the Riders.

Anderson (6'4 - 202 lbs.) spent his first four CFL seasons with the Alouettes where he amassed 174 receptions, 2,434 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns in 51 career regular season games. Last season he compiled 60 receptions for 686 yards and four touchdowns while playing in all 18 regular season games, the Scotiobank East Championship and the Grey Cup.

The 26-year old enjoyed his best CFL season in 2004 when he had 76 receptions for 1,147 yards and three touchdowns. The Grambling product also missed a portion of the 2005 CFL season while attending training camp with the New Orleans Saints.

"Thyron is a skilled receiver with a unique combination of height and speed," stated Tillman. "This acquisition is another positive step in upgrading our offense."
