‘We all understand and embrace the goal of bringing the Grey Cup back home,’ says the Surrey-raised player
BC Lions have announced the signing of NFL veteran Christian Covington, who grew up in Surrey and other areas of Metro Vancouver.“It’s truly an honour to come home and play in front of my friends and family,” Covington said in a news release posted to the team’s website Wednesday, May 1.
The six-foot-two, 300-pound Covington moves north to the CFL after dressing in 102 NFL games over the last nine years, with stops in Houston, Dallas, Cincinnati, Los Angeles and Detroit. “I was born in Vancouver, lived in Richmond, lived in North Delta, and eventually made it out to Surrey — a great place to grow up, but I’m a little biased being a Vancouver College Fighting Irish,” Covington said in 2018 when he hosted a football camp at McLeod Athletic Park in Langley.
