Former Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch joined the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders last month.

Earlier this week, Lynch made his Canadian football debut at Riders practice. The transition from the NFL to CFL hasn’t been easy, the QB admitted.

“It’s been difficult. A lot of the pre-snap stuff has been a big adjustment for me,” Lynch during a video conference call, according to John Hodge of 3DownNation.com. “When you break it all down and get down to the core of it, it’s really football — it’s the same, just different terminology and things like that concept-wise.”

Lynch, 27, was picked by the Broncos in the first round of the 2016 NFL draft. He spent just two years in Denver before going on to have brief stints with the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Lynch now aims to revive his football career and ultimately hopes to return to the NFL.

“It’s always been my dream.” Lynch said. “As a kid, you dream of winning the Super Bowl and that fire inside of me to accomplish that is still there and it’s very strong. It hasn’t wavered at all, but I don’t want to get that confused with how I feel about being here because I’m very excited to be here.”

Cody Fajardo is Saskatchewan’s starting quarterback, so Lynch will likely begin his first CFL season as a backup.
