THE MOJ: Finding good talent and good teammates a mission for B.C. Lions scout
They say that December is the ‘Most Wonderful Time of the Year” but for B.C. Lions Director of U.S. Scouting Ryan Rigmaiden the start of training camp in May is pretty close.
“You’ve got challenges every year. Part of that is recruiting and informing people what this league is and how great it is. But for the most part I think the success of our league speaks for itself. You’re trying to convince them that Canada’s a good option for him. Fortunately, our league has had tremendous success with players not only having a great career here, but also making the jump to the NFL.
When it comes to recruiting talent, Rigmaiden not only looks for athleticism and potential but character as well. Getting a player into camp is one thing, then it’s up to the player to impress the Lions coaching staff that he deserves a spot on the team.Rigmaiden may have been tracking a player for a couple of years, then signs him only to watch that player have a few bad practices in camp and be on the chopping block. He has to convince coaches that there is more there.
