Former Grambling QB earns another chance, signs with CFL team
GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- DeVante Kincade's career has been full of twists and turns. His football path has now taken him due north.
The former Grambling State star quarterback signed a deal with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League Saturday morning.
Hamilton brought Kincade up for a tryout on July 29, less than a week after trading Johnny Manziel to the Montreal Alouettes.
"I was pretty accurate and flying around," Kincade told the News-Star of his tryout performance with the Tiger-Cats. "It was crazy, I was accurate all day, I didn't miss but maybe a couple of passes."
His football journey crosses paths once again with current Hamilton head coach June Jones, the former SMU head coach who offered Kincade, then a four-star quarterback from Skyline (Dallas) High School, a scholarship.
"It's a small world, for real. He recruited me in high school. It's perfect -- God's timing," Kincade said. "It was crazy when I saw him on the field."
