Mizzell was supposed to come to training camp last year with B.C. but needed an emergency appendectomy two days before proceedings began.
When he is right, he makes opponents miss. He’s fakes and feints, dekes and dodges. His high school coach dubbed him Smoke, explaining that trying to tackle Mizzell was like trying to grab smoke out of the air. The nickname has stuck through the years.
“We like both of those guys,” Rick Campbell, who’s the Leos’ co-general manager and head coach, said of Mizzell and Williams. “The thing we really like about Mizzell is his home-run-hitter ability. He’s a quick, explosive guy. I think that’s always valuable in the CFL. You need a running back to make a big play every once and awhile.
He’s been a returner in the NFL too. He’s “still amazed at how big this field is here — it’s one of my favourite parts.”
