Former Oklahoma offensive tackle Josiah St. John was the first overall pick in Tuesday's Canadian Football League Draft by the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
St. John was ranked fifth among eligible picks but the four players ranked ahead of him—three Canadians who played in the NCAA and one player who played for a Canadian college—either were picked in the recent NFL Draft or have signed with NFL teams.
The Ajax, Ontario, native started four games early in the season but after it was discovered that he was tipping whether or not the Sooners were going to pass or run with his stance during the game against Texas, he was removed from the lineup and played only sparingly after that.
