Blue Bombers’ Nichols ready for new role as starting quarterback
WINNIPEG — For the first time in his pro football career, Matt Nichols is heading into a season as a starting quarterback.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers pivot feels it will be a natural transition from backup to starter.
“Honestly, going into this season feels more normal to me than my last seven seasons have been because from second grade all the way through college, I was always the starting quarterback,” Nichols said before he and backup quarterbacks Dominique Davis and Dan LeFevour met fans for an autograph session inside the team store.
“So this honestly feels more natural to me than coming in as the second or third guy like I have most of my career.”
