Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers added to their offensive depth chart today, signing an import running back and a home-grown offensive lineman.
Coming aboard are former Penn State tailback Rodney Kinlaw and Kyle Sleightholm, an O-lineman who was in Bomber camp last year before returning to the University of Windsor.
Kinlaw (5-9, 201) comes to Winnipeg after an impressive four-year college career with the Nittany Lions, including his senior year in 2007 in which he rushed for 1,329 yards, 10 touchdowns and a sparkling 5.5-yards per carry average — 11th best in school history. He was also the MVP of the ’07 Alama Bowl after rushing for 143 yards. That handiwork earned him an invite to the New York Jets’ training camp, but he was released before the regular season.
Sleightholm (6-3, 295) attended training camp with the Bombers in 2008 after being signed as an undrafted free agent where he made the switch from defensive to offensive tackle. That switch continued at Windsor last season.
