Montreal Alouettes News Release
Montreal - The Montreal Alouettes announced Wednesday that the team has signed American returner Chandler Worthy to a two-year deal.
Worthy (5'8", 177 lbs.) played 15 games with the Alouettes in 2022. On 47 punt returns, the former Troy University Trojan amassed 547 yards, maintaining an excellent 11.6 yards average per run. The Griffin, GA native excelled with two touchdowns on 51 kickoffs, earning 1.220 yards and maintaining a 23.9-yard average per return. On June 23, he helped the Alouettes defeat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 37-13 as he returned a kickoff for 88 yards to the end zone for a touchdown.

"I know Chandler well having played him a few times and I can confirm that we have an electrifying player on our hands," said Alouettes Head Coach Jason Maas. "With one play, he can change the outcome of a game. Opposing teams have to be ready when he is on the field."
