You can\u0027t measure the return of cornerback Brandin Dandridge to the Ottawa Redblacks\u0027 starting lineup by the statistics.
The three touchdowns he’s scored this season – two on interceptions and another on a punt return – show what he means to his team. He’s got four interceptions and two fumble recoveries; that’s six takeaways on a Redblacks team that leads the CFL with 30 in 10 games.But it’s another intangible, a quiet confidence that helps push the 27-year-old to a different level. Swagger without the swagger, if that makes any sense.
Dandridge last played July 27 against Hamilton, when he suffered a foot injury. He’s got 13 tackles to go with his big-play ability. “Since I was a baby, I’ve been quieter. My mom and dad are pretty outgoing, pretty loud. There was a lot of that in the house. But this is who I am; it’s my personality. I’m humble. I know there are a million guys who would want to be in my position, so I appreciate what I have. I feel so blessed to be here playing a child’s game.”Article content
