1986: Kent Austin
Kent Austin was a 12th-round pick by the St. Louis Cardinals from Ole Miss. He shows one stat, a rush for no yards. In 1987, the Cardinals chose not to re-sign Austin, and he jumped to the CFL and joined the Saskatchewan Roughriders, initially as their back-up quarterback. On Nov. 26, 1989 in Toronto, Austin was at the helm of the Roughriders when they won the Grey Cup versus the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, winning the MVP trophy for his 474 yards passing in the game. One of the Top 10 quarterbacks in CFL history, with 36,030 career passing yards on 4,700 pass attempts, having completed 2709 passes (57.6%), Austin is a Roughriders legend.
