Riders happy to give Adarius Bowman second chance

Posted May 28, 2008

Adarius Bowman's first opportunity in pro football is actually a second chance. Bowman -- who is poised to participate in the Saskatchewan Roughriders' rookie camp -- was a virtual lock to be selected in the 2008 NFL draft until he was convicted of misdemeanor possession of marijuana in April. Teams instantly shied away from someone who had been hyped by Oklahoma State publicists as a Heisman Trophy candidate. (Saskatoon Star Phoenix)
