Roughriders' Picton Emotional About Playing in Grey Cup Game
Mitchell Picton was added to the Saskatchewan Roughriders' Grey Cup roster due to injuries and will back up starter Ajou Ajou in his first championship game.
- On Nov. 15, 2025, Mitchell Picton will make his first Grey Cup appearance Sunday for the hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders.
- Because Dhel Duncan-Busby and Joe Robustelli were injured, Mitchell Picton and fellow Canadian receiver Ajou Ajou were added to the roster Saturday, with Picton calling the Grey Cup a "season- and career-long goal."
- At six-foot-one and 197 pounds, Mitchell Picton recorded 20 catches this season and expects many friends and family wearing his No.
- Mace noted Picton's versatility, adding he is "super intelligent" and can play every receiver spot plus multiple special-teams roles, and said Picton could move into coaching after playing.
- A fire alarm at Princess Auto Stadium Saturday caused an evacuation that led the Montreal Alouettes to bypass their final availability after a walkthrough, and on Sunday Picton and the Riders will face an Alouettes defence led by defensive co-ordinator Noel Thorpe.
