Montreal Alouettes’ James Letcher Jr. returns missed field goal 125 yards for TD

James Letcher Jr. collected a missed field goal in the CFL game on Saturday in the game between his Montreal Alouettes and the Edmonton Elks and was off and running.

He finished the play 125 yards later, tumbling into the end zone.

Yes, the CFL, where you can see a 125-yard return of a missed field goal.

Letcher played college ball at Washburn — nicknamed the Ichabods. He was an eight-time All-American selection and had a trio of kickoff return TDs in college.

None will be as memorable as this play for sure.

It wasn’t close to the longest missed field goal return in CFL history:

131 – Boyd Carter/Dave Mann (1958) (Carter for 15 yards, then lateral to Mann for 116 yards and TD)
130 – Ken Hinton (1977)
129 – Bashir Levingston (2007)
129 – Dominique Dorsey (2009)
129 – Tristan Jackson (2012)
129 – Trent Guy (2012)
