Kaion Julien-Grant, each looking for consistency and a win-streak

Edmonton Elk receiver Kaion Julien-Grant has been reflecting on his performance in the last few games, focusing on both the positives and negatives. Despite his self-criticism, Julien-Grant has been a key player for the team, with 21 catches for 346 yards and five touchdowns in eight games.

In a recent game against the Montreal Alouettes, Julien-Grant made a crucial catch in the final seconds to secure a 23-22 victory for Edmonton. This redemption came after a disappointing drop in the end zone in a previous game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

While the Elk’s record stands at 2-6, they are still in contention for a playoff spot in the CFL West. Quarterback Cody Fajardo emphasized the importance of focusing on each game individually and aiming for back-to-back victories to build momentum.

Looking ahead to their upcoming game against the Toronto Argonauts, Fajardo acknowledged the challenge of facing a team hungry for a win. The Elk’s key focus will be on starting strong and avoiding the slow starts that have plagued them in recent games.

Despite facing some challenges, the Elk’s team spirit remains high, and they are determined to turn their season around. With a strong performance from players like Julien-Grant and Fajardo, Edmonton is hopeful for a successful second half of the season.

Injuries may pose a challenge for the Elk, with punter Cody Grace sidelined due to a knee injury. However, the team is confident in their ability to adapt and overcome obstacles as they strive for victory in their upcoming games.
