Its been no secret that Nathan was looking to sign with a NFL team this off season as hes tried out for ten teams in the past month or so. Those teams included the Cincinnati Bengals, L.A. Chargers, Las Vegas, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Arizona Cardinals.

Rourke finally made his decision public, earlier today on his instagram.

“Ultimately my decision came down to my commitment to the pursuit of the dream I first had as a youngster watching Brett Favre win Super Bowls on NFL Films.”

Nathan will start out as the backup quarterback for the Jaguars as Trevor Lawrence leads the team.

Rourke had a stellar season last year, and carried the Lions to a 8-1 record before he got injured.

Many B.C Lions fans will be sad to see the star player leave the team. One fan stated;

“IT seemed inevitable that he would sign somewhere. I am happy for him to have his shot at the big money, but sad to not see him back with the Lions.”

I think that sums up Rourke’s decision perfectly.
