Argos linebacker Bear Woods has long history with Lions star Chris Rainey
TORONTO — Linebacker Bear Woods and running back/returner Chris Rainey go way back.
They grew up in Florida, born a year apart. They’ve been college rivals (Rainey at Florida, Woods at Troy) and teammates (2014 with the Montreal Alouettes).
They’ll revert back to rivals Saturday night when the Toronto Argonauts (8-9) visit the B.C. Lions (7-10) to conclude the 2017 CFL regular season.
“I have a history with him,” Woods said. “He went to University of Florida and I actually played against him in college, it might’ve been his freshman year.
