HittinSkinz Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Stampeders sign former NFL wide receiver Albert Connell May 19, 2003 CALGARY (CP) - The Calgary Stampeders signed former NFL wide receiver Albert Connell on Monday. Connell was originally drafted by the Washington Redskins in the fourth round of the 1997 NFL draft. After four seasons with the Redskins, the six-foot, 184-pounder signed a free-agent contract with the New Orleans Saints. Connell was cut by New Orleans last December after being accused of stealing $4,363 from teammate Deuce McAllister. The charges later were dropped when Connell returned the money and McAllister told authorities that he would not press. The five-year NFL veteran had over 1,000 yards receiving with the Redskins in 1999. "Albert is an experienced proven receiver at the NFL level and will bring big play capability to our receiving corps," said Calgary head coach Jim Barker.

RAC Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I always liked AC... he could have been a good contributor elsewhere. It's a shame what he has done to his career by making such a foolish mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember, I wasn't a redskins fan back then, so I'm not as well versed in the history of the team and players as most of you guys.
