Tommy Time taking over in Saskatchewan

Tommy Stevens, a quarterback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, has taken the team and its fans by storm. Originally known for his short-yardage skills, Stevens has evolved into one of Rider Nation's most beloved players. His running style, filled with powerful runs to the endzone, has earned him many nicknames, most notably "Tommy Time." Fans and analysts alike praise his reliability in clutch situations, with one fan stating, "He's usually no-fail on the third down, so I can't say anything bad about the guy."

Stevens' success has not gone unnoticed, with his performance ranking second in the CFL for rushing touchdowns. Despite being listed as the third-string quarterback, Stevens has proven his worth in various situations. Currently, he is just one touchdown away from matching legendary Roughrider George Reed's franchise record of 16 rushing touchdowns in a season, set in 1986. Additionally, he is three touchdowns away from breaking the Roughriders' single-season touchdown record of 18, set by Ken Carpenter in 1955.

Stevens' rise in popularity is evident; his jersey is now available at the Rider Store, a testament to his growing fanbase. He attributes his success to his team, particularly the offensive line, which has enabled him to thrive in short-yardage situations. Fans affectionately refer to him as Touchdown Tommy, Stone Cold Stevens, or simply Tommy, but the consensus remains clear: Saskatchewan has become enamored with "Tommy Time."
