After a messy split with the Blue Bombers in the off-season, Andrew Harris is fitting right in with the Argonauts. At age 35, the running back is showing no signs of slowing down. Around the CFL | ✍️: Mkor1980
Andrew Harris is well aware of what happens to many running backs when a 3 is the first number of their age.But while the messy breakup between the Blue Bombers and their homegrown franchise player led to some off-season drama, it now seems like it might have been the best thing for both sides.
“Obviously, there was a void here Toronto had. I’m definitely happy I got the opportunity to fill that void,” Harris said. “We’ve got some great running backs that will be replacing me at some point here, too. At the end of the day, I’m just excited about the opportunity and to still be able to play at the level I’m playing at. I’m doing my best to take care of my body at this point and doing all the right things off the field to make sure I’m healthy and playing at a certain level every week.
Harris said the Argonauts have developed a system where he goes all out on the first day of practice each week before cutting his reps, preserving his body for games.“In my younger age, I didn’t really stretch or get treatment. I was eating whatever I was eating. I was kind of careless, right?” he said. “As you get older, you realize a late night doesn’t bode well for recovery or not stretching properly or getting treatment once a day isn’t good enough.
