Regina‘s own Brayden Lenius is coming back to the Saskatchewan Roughriders after a stint with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, the Riders said in a news release.

The six foot five 225 pound wide receiver signed with the Falcons in January after a breakout year with the Riders in 2021 that saw the 25-year-old make 37 receptions for 471 yards and four touchdowns in all 14 regular season games.
