There seems to be a misconception about legendary receiver Ray Elgaard, who finished third — behind Ron Lancaster and George Reed — in a recent Regina Leader-Post poll that listed the top 10 Saskatchewan Roughriders players of all time. Perhaps the misconception has been fostered by this sentimental scribe, who has frequently and fondly recalled the days in which the Hall of Fame slotback routinely squelched would-be tacklers. So please bear with me as I offer a comprehensive overview of his skills.
