Who is Don Narcisse?

Donald Narcisse is a former wide receiver for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian Football League. He played college football at Texas Southern University. He signed with Saskatchewan as a free agent on September 1, 1987.

A smaller player at 5'9" and 170 pounds, Don was effective at short yardage plays, often in situations needing a 1st down. As a result of rarely being injured and giving strong on field performances, Don shared and held a few records. He had over 1000+ receiving yards for 7 consecutive seasons from 1989-1995 including a career high 1419 yards in 1989. Despite this consistency, the Roughriders were frequently an average team in the middle or bottom half of the standings. He played alongside Ray Elgaard and Jeff Fairholm who combined to be a top group of receivers, among the best in the league.

At the time of his retirement, he was 1st all-time in career receptions, 3rd in career receiving yards and tied for 1st with 8 - 1000+ yard seasons. Don holds the professional football record for most consecutive games with at least one reception in every game. He is considered one of the greatest players in Roughriders history and one of the leagues greatest receivers.
