REGINA — A Saskatchewan student has a smile as wide as a football field after he got to spend two hours with CFL Grey Cup MVP Kory Sheets
The Saskatchewan Roughrider running back tweeted that he was stranded in Saskatoon and needed a lift to Regina.
He had caught a flight south to Connecticut for Thanksgiving and arrived back in Saskatoon, but then realized he hadn’t lined up a ride back to Regina.
Mack Nelson replied that he was heading that way and offered to pick him up.
What a whirlwind last night. Glad I was able to return @Sheets24K back to #ridernation safely!

Nelson says he was blown away by the experience.
Sheets gave Nelson an autographed jersey to thank him for his good turn.
"As a die-hard Rider fan, he’s, you know, one of the most famous people that I could ever try and meet," Nelson said.
