“Rocket” Ismail Signs with the Argos

With numbers: $18 million in salary over four years; a $5 bonus for every seat sold over 40,000 at home games; a car worth up to $100,000; and more perks. The 21-year-old Ismail signed with Toronto and responded with his own big numbers: a 4.21-second 40-yard dash in training camp, and an 87-yard kickoff return touchdown to seal their Grey Cup victory. Ismail created a massive buzz for the Argos and CFL, but ultimately it was short-lived. Ismail stayed for just two seasons before joining the Los Angeles Raiders of the NFL.
