Rider Prophet Roughrider Trivia Challenge

I figured it was time for a little reader participation. So I present to you the first ever Rider Prophet Trivia Challenge.

There’s 10 trivia questions below. If you think you know the answers send me an email: riderprophet@hotmail.com . Whoever gets the most right wins. And what’s the prize for the fabulous contest… You will get bragging right and be publicly acknowledged on this blog for your superior knowledge of otherwise useless facts.

Good luck.
1. We currently have 3 former first overall picks in the Canadian draft on our roster. Who are they?
2. How many current Roughriders have won a Grey Cup before the 2007 win? Bonus points if you can name them.
