On Thursday afternoon, 3DownNation reported that 2016 No. 1 overall draft pick, offensive lineman Josiah St. John asked for a trade from the Riders.
Lots of Roughrider fans took to Twitter and shared how they felt about the six-foot-six, 309-pounder expressing the desire to want out of Saskatchewan. There were so many tweets about St. John that his name was trending in Canada.
