Laval University Rouge et Or's Mathieu Betts raises the trophy as they celebrate victory against Western University Mustang at the Vanier Cup final Saturday, November 24, 2018 in Quebec City. Betts should learn Saturday where his pro football career will begin.Mathieu Betts is about to learn where his pro football career will begin.
“I just want to be able to contribute as fast as possible. I want to be able to learn with a good franchise, good coaching and good players. Obviously playing Canadian football, there are a few differences, so I’d hope for a team that’s patient with me to make that transition, which I think would be short.”
Betts had a U Sports-leading nine sacks last year in just six games, and posted 35.5 sacks over his collegiate career, the most ever in the Quebec conference. Most importantly, Betts capped his U Sports career helping Laval win the Vanier Cup, his second national championship with the Rouge et Or. “I wouldn’t say it’s the same, but I’d kind of compare it to getting recruited for college, I think it’s that kind of a deal, really.”
“It will be the end of a chapter at Laval and the beginning of, hopefully, a new, fun story with whatever team I might get with this weekend.”
