MISSISSAUGA, Ont. (CP) _ The Toronto Argonauts added veteran savvy to their defensive secondary by signing veteran NFL safety Tony Dorsett Jr. on Friday.
The five-foot-11, 205-pound Dorsett is the son of former NFL star Tony Dorsett.
The younger Dorsett spent eight seasons in the NFL before leaving football in 2004 to grow his commercial and residential development business. Tony Dorsett Jr., 33, played for both the Tennessee Titans and Oakland Raiders from 1996 to 2003, appearing in the Titans' 23-16 loss to the St. Louis Rams in the 2000 Super Bowl.
Tony Dorsett spent 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys after winning the Heisman Trophy. He rushed for more than 12,000 career yards and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Like his father, the younger Dorsett played his college football at the University of Pittsburgh.
