The six-foot-five, 320-pound native of Sherwood Park, AB, took over the starting centre position in Hamilton and started six of his seven games in black and gold after the midseason trade.
A seven-year veteran of the CFL (2015-2022), Beard has suited up in 101 games with the Tiger-Cats (2022) and the Edmonton Elks (2015-2022) and was unanimously voted the Elks’ most outstanding offensive lineman in 2019.
