For the first time since entering the CFL in 2016, Vernon Adams Jr. will head into a training camp as a bona fide starter. But the 27-year-old said the real work begins now.

Montreal Alouettes quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. won’t be heart-broken if training camp is pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Montreal promoted Jones, its offensive co-ordinator, to head coach a week before the regular season after Mike Sherman was fired. The Alouettes opened 0-2 under Jones, then reeled off two wins before GM Kavis Reed was terminated. Montreal signed Adams through 2022 in January. Jones also received a new deal in a busy off-season that saw the Alouettes also secure new owners , a new president and GM .

"It’s not going to be whatever Vernon says, goes. I want to hear what everybody thinks and I think they want to hear what I think and we’re going to come together. I think that’s what the good teams do. I’m going to work on my leadership and keeping my composure and not letting other guys get under my skin. Just be that Ricky Ray calm, cool and collected."

"Khari and I have so much in common being shorter and African Americans. I think he’s just a perfect fit for us all." While there’s uncertainty surrounding the CFL season, Adams Jr. said his job is to ensure he’s ready when camps open.
