Ex-UA standout receiver Criner signs with CFL's Redblacks 

Juron Criner, who was Nick Foles’ leading receiver at Arizona from 2009-11, with 31 touchdown catches and 2,771 yards, signed with the CFL’s Ottawa Redblacks last week. Criner’s NFL career was a disappointment. He caught just 19 passes and hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2013.
