The pre-season is over and the dust has finally settled down. The General Managers and coaching staff of the Yellowknife Wraiths had the unenviable decision to choose who of Chris Orosz & Alexander LeClair would take the starting Quarter-Back job. Ultimately, Orosz was given the vote of confidence. There were rumours that LeClair was not happy and felt robbed. Other rumours had him take a year off and come back for S2, potentially as a QB for a possible expansion team.
In a twist that few would’ve expected, LeClair announced that he was going to switch position and become one of the team’s starting Wide Receivers. Media all over the the league were left startled as they saw LeClair practicing routes on the receiving end of Orosz’s passes. Will LeClair be fast enough to match Josh Garden as a receiver? Will he be agile enough to get rid of the defenders marking him?
When asked directly, LeClair, a man of few words had this to say:
“Yes I was disappointed with this decision but I wanted to be part of the team because I made good friends here. GMs told me there was possibility to be a starter at receiver and I accepted because I want to be a starter”.
When asked if the lack of competitive practice would be an issue he simply responded “No.”
We’ll be closely watching LeClair’s performance this season as we remain skeptical about this switch.
