The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced Monday the football club has signed two American players, including quarterback David Watford (pictured) and offensive lineman Travis Vornkahl. Both players have been added to the suspended list while they complete their quarantine periods.
Watford, 28, appeared in 12 regular season games with the Tiger-Cats in 2019, registering five completions on eight attempts for 74 passing yards. He added 16 carries for 40 rushing yards and was tied for sixth in the Canadian Football League with a team-high six rushing touchdowns. The 6-2, 215-pound native of Hampton, Virginia also suited up in both of Hamilton's playoff games, including the 107th Grey Cup in Calgary.
Watford has appeared in 30 career CFL games with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2018) and Tiger-Cats (2019), recording 20 of his 40 passing attempts for 242 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, while adding 34 carries for 133 yards and six rushing touchdowns.
Vornkahl, 25, spent time on the Tiger-Cats offseason roster earlier this year prior to the start of training camp. He previously attended training camp with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2019 before stints with three NFL teams, including the Cleveland Browns (2019), Washington Football Team (2019) and Indianapolis Colts (2019-20).
The 6-6, 298-pound native of Sealy, Texas played 32 games at both guard and tackle for West Texas A&M University over three seasons (2016-18). Vornkahl was named to the Second Team All-Lone Star Conference in 2018 and received All-Conference Honourable Mentions in 2016 and 2017 with the Buffaloes.
