Terrell Sinkfield Jr. gets first start with Ticats versus Redblacks
HAMILTON — Seeing how the other half lives had helped make Terrell Sinkfield Jr. a better receiver.
Sinkfield will make his Hamilton debut Saturday afternoon when the Tiger-Cats (8-8) host the Ottawa Redblacks (9-7). The six-foot, 200-pound Sinkfield will play on offence after spending two-plus seasons as a defensive back with the Minnesota Vikings (2016-2017), New York Jets (2017-2018) and Oakland Raiders (2018).
Playing defence helped give Sinkfield a different perspective on lining up as a receiver.
“Just understanding defences and leverages,” he said. “And seeing it from the defensive point of view really helped me out a lot.”
