The Quarterback: Henry Burris makes CFL debut in The Players’ Tribune

Henry Burris epitomizes a CFL quarterback.

So it was only fitting that Smilin’ Hank is the storyteller in the first-ever article featuring the CFL in The Players’ Tribune. The legendary quarterback who called it a career earlier in 2017 after leading the Ottawa REDBLACKS to a Grey Cup Championship – Ottawa’s first title in 40 years – reflects on his career describing his relentless and determined journey in the engaging feature released today.

The Players’ Tribute provides athletes with a platform to connect directly with their fans, in their own words. Founded by Derek Jeter, The Players’ Tribune publishes first-person stories from athletes, providing unique insight into the daily sports conversation. Through impactful and powerful long- and short-form stories, video series and podcasts, The Players’ Tribune brings fans closer than ever to the games they love.

Burris will be front and centre at TD Place tonight as he and his family unveil the REDBLACKS 2016 Grey Cup Championship banner prior to the football club’s home opener against the Calgary Stampeders – a rematch of last year’s Grey Cup.
