Tyler Snead, Montreal Alouettes off to strong start

by | Jun 18, 2025

East Carolina alum Tyler Savage is off to a big start to his third season in the CFL.

The Montreal Alouettes receiver has seven catches for 151 yards as his team is now 2-0. He four catches for 117 yards and a near touchdown in last week’s win over Ottawa and fellow ECU receiver Justin Hardy.

“The coolest thing about playing in this offence, it can be anyone’s week on any given gameday,” Snead said, according to Dan Ralph of The Canadian Press. “We’ve got many plays we gameplan for based on what the coaches see and like, we have coverages we prepare for early that end up working out in our favour with some big plays.

“Later we get different looks that get people open. It just happened to be a big first half for me (versus Ottawa) but next week it could be a big first half for anybody.”
