Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced this morning they have agreed to terms on a new two-year contract with Canadian fullback and special teams ace Mike Miller.
Miller first signed with Winnipeg as a free agent prior to the 2017 CFL season after beginning his career with the Edmonton Eskimos, and has played in 140 career regular-season games, including 36 over the last two seasons in Winnipeg.
“I’m extremely excited to get this done and continue to be a member of the Blue Bombers,” said Miller in a release. “Coach (Mike) O’Shea and the environment in Winnipeg makes this an easy decision for me. The past few seasons we have felt we are so close to where we want to be, and hopefully 2019 we are finally able to achieve that goal.”
The 29-year-old from Riverview, N.B., a graduate of Acadia University, played six seasons with the Eskimos.
Miller finished with 22 special teams tackles in 2018, second on the team. He led the team in special teams tackles in 2017, and led the entire league in 2016.
“Obviously from a pure special teams standpoint, Mike Miller stands out as one of the best in the CFL,” said Winnipeg GM Kyle Walters. “It isn’t just his on-field play in that aspect of the game, either. It’s his knowledge of schemes, preparation, and attention to detail before even getting on the field. He’s also contributed for us at times on offence, and overall is great for our locker room. We are excited to bring him back.”
