Argos ink former Pro Bowl wideout Boston

---

Mississauga, ON (Sports Network) - The Toronto Argonauts announced the signing Monday of former Pro Bowl wideout David Boston.

"We are extremely excited about signing David. We have been looking for a big, physical receiver and he certainly fulfills that role," said Argonauts head coach Rich Stubler. "He has the size and speed to be a dominant player in our league as the wider field should fit well with his natural abilities."

Boston was taken eighth overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 1999 NFL Draft. He played 56 games with the club and led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,598 in 2001, earning a Pro Bowl selection.

Boston later spent time with the San Diego Chargers and Miami Dolphins, and recently attended training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"I'm extremely excited to come to Toronto and compete, and hopefully win a Grey Cup championship," said Boston. "I'm thankful for the opportunity the organization has given me and I'm looking forward to being at training camp."
