Pound Johnstone: Tyler Johnstone

pound johnstone: The six-foot-six, 275-pound Johnstone attended the 2016 NFL combine and was bypassed in the draft before signing as an undrafted free agent with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to The Chronicle Herald. But a stress fracture landed him on injured reserve for the year before reaching an injury settlement with the club. The 25-year-old starred at the University of Oregon following his high school career in Arizona. We are thrilled to have acquired Tyler's rights, said Alouettes general manager Kavis Reed. Johnstone was on the Calgary Stampeders' negotiation list and nearly reported to the team, but because his father, Kevin, was born in the city, Tyler Johnstone was eligible for Canadian citizenship. Tyler was one of the best national offensive linemen available this year and he would have been next year as well. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
