Former Michigan State football WR signs with Ottawa Redblacks

Former Michigan State football star wide receiver B.J. Cunningham is extending his Canadian Football League career, signing a new deal with the Ottawa Redblacks through free agency.

Cunningham was a star at Michigan State, leading the wide receiver room from 2008-2011. Cunningham concluded his college career as the school’s all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards.

Cunningham was drafted in the 6th round of the 2012 NFL Draft and spent 2012-2014 in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles. After not sticking in the NFL, Cunningham made the move to sign with the Montreal Alouettes in 2015 and has played there for the past 6 seasons.
