Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have wasted little time getting their first-round draft pick, Sukh Chungh, to put his name on a new contract.
Less than 24 hours after calling Chungh’s name out with the second overall pick in the 2015 CFL Canadian Draft the Bombers announced they have signed him to a two-year deal.
The 6-4, 305-pouns product of the University of Calgary is a two-time CIS All-Canadian and brings a great deal of nastiness to the offensive line.
“This has been an amazing 24-48 hours for me and my family,” said Chungh in a statement. “I am so grateful to not only be taken second overall, but now have an agreement in place and look forward to coming to camp. I can’t wait to get there and get going.”
The Bombers also added University of Manitoba Bisons quarterback Jordan Yantz late Tuesday, after he passed through the draft without being selected. Yantz was in the Bomber camp a year ago and did not look out of place. Each CFL team can add two players that are referred to as ‘non-counters’ during training camp, meaning they don’t count against the roster limit.
“He’s going to come in and compete,” said Bombers GM Kyle Walters on Wednesday. “ We think he’s a good quarterback, regardless of nationality.
“He’ll be the fifth quarterback in training camp and this is because we think he’s better than some of the guys we saw in FLorida that weren’t under contract.”
I want to thank the #CFL and the additional round after the draft, but more importantly the @Wpg_BlueBombers for the invite to camp!!
