Argos coach Trestman says Wilder Jr. from different era of athlete
OTTAWA — James Wilder Jr. walked off the field after practice on Wednesday, helmet in one hand, cellphone in the other.
There’s a good chance Marc Trestman was cringing.
Wilder, a 25-year-old Toronto running back with “millennial charisma,” poses a unique challenge for the Argonauts head coach.
“It really goes to the phone. It goes to the addiction we have — all of us have — to our phones and distracting us from our task,” said Trestman, who’s 61. “So they see things a bit different. That would be a whole symposium in the off-season. It really would.”
