WINNIPEG, MB., May 21, 2014 - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed non-import defensive back Kris Robertson. Robertson was drafted in the second round, 11th overall, by the Blue Bombers in 2013.
Robertson (5-9, 185, Concordia, DOB: November 23, 1990 in Pickering, Ontario) was named a second team All-Canadian in 2012 as a returner, one year after being named a first team All-Canadian at the same position, becoming the first Stinger in school history to earn the national all-star recognition as a return specialist.
