Mason Fine's Teammate Tells Him to Stop Looking at His Balls

The CFL blog 3 Down Nation has a story about Saskatchewan Roughriders starting quarterback Cody Fajardo being shocked by what backup Mason Fine says about where his eyes go after throwing a pass. Fajardo described their conversation to teammate Charleston Hughes on his podcast:

“I was eavesdropping on a conversation that you and Mason was having on the bus and he was saying that as a quarterback, he said he doesn’t look at the receiver when he throws the ball,” Hughes shared, clearly bewildered. “He says he watches the ball leave his hand the whole time and he watches the ball in flight and he don’t look at the target.”

After a pregnant pause, both host and guest descended into raucous laughter.

“He’s a young buck,” Fajardo managed to choke out. “He’s gonna learn fast that he better look at the target.”
