Ottawa Renegades & the home of the 04 Grey Cup sign three more players Linebacker Tony White, CFL rookies Dru Grigson and Sean Bennett ink deals with Ottawa. An excellent report below from Barre Renegades media.

OTTAWA – The Ottawa Renegades are pleased to announce the signing of import running back Sean Bennett, import linebacker Dru Grigson, and import free agent linebacker Tony White who played for Ottawa during the 2003 season. All players agreed to one-year contracts with a club option for the 2005 season.

Bennett, a 28-year-old graduate of Northwestern, arrives in Ottawa with experience in the National Football League. The 6-foot-1, 230-pound running back played 16 regular-season games with the New York Giants after being selected in the fourth round (112^th overall) of the 1999 NFL draft.

Bennett scored one touchdown in the NFL, during the 1999 season on a one-yard run on November 28 against the Arizona Cardinals.

He had 28 carries for 122 yards and five catches for 27 yards with the Giants in 1999 and 2002. Bennett missed the 2000 and 2001 seasons due to injury.

Bennett is from Evansville, Indiana, the same hometown as former Ottawa Lynx infielder and current Montreal Expos infielder Jamey Carroll. Bennett and Wes Carroll, the younger brother of Jamey, played on the same Legion baseball team.

White, 24, returns to the Renegades after playing two games for Ottawa during the 2003 season.

The 6-foot-1, 250-pound graduate of UCLA made his CFL début for the Renegades on July 31 at Frank Clair Stadium against the Edmonton Eskimos. White also played for Ottawa on August 7 against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Grigson, a 24-year-old linebacker from Highland, Indiana, arrives in Ottawa after taking the long and winding road to professional football.

The 6-foot-1, 240-pound graduate of William Penn University is renowned by scouts for his ability to make hard hits, and his tenacity in the weight room. Grigson benched 225 pounds 33 times once during a legendary session in the workout room.

Grigson began his collegiate career at New Mexico State in 1997. Pegged as a starting rush end for the 1998 season, hard luck arrived when Grigson broke his right leg during spring drills. He missed the 1998 season and also was forced to the sidelines in 1999 when he developed an infection in the same leg.
