“The New York born signal caller went viral in 2021 when he threw the game-winning touchdown against Toledo immediately after his dislocated finger was popped back into place on the sidelines,” the Riders said in a press release.
Coan also played four seasons at the University of Wisconsin. Before transferring in the spring of 2021, Coan appeared in 25 games, including 18 starts, and accumulated 3,278 throwing yards and 23 touchdowns.
The Riders’ first of two preseason games will be on May 20, when they host Winnipeg.
