Former WSSU OL Jac’Que Polite signs with B.C. Lions of CFL

“I refuse to give up! Somebody gotta feel my pain” tweeted Jac’que Polite in mid-July with a video of him running ladder drills.

After going un-drafted in the 2017 NFL Draft and becoming a causality of the numbers game as an un-drafted free agent with the Buffalo Bills, it would have been easy for Jac’que Polite to hang his head, but those set backs only fueled him to work harder to reach his goals.

Now, his hard work has paid off as he has signed a two-year deal with the B.C. Lions of the CFL.

“I am truly excited to be apart of the BC lions organization for the next 2 years. I can’t wait to get to work#DreamsDoComeTrue” Jac’Que posted on his Facebook page along with pictures of him signing the contract.
