Shepley says his NFL stops taught him the business of football as he prepares for his first season with Toronto.
- After signing with the Toronto Argonauts in January, 31-year-old Windsor native Dakoda Shepley returns to the CFL following his 2018 draft by the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
- His professional path included 16 regular-season games with six NFL franchises, most notably two stints with the Dallas Cowboys, plus time with the New York Jets, Seattle, and Indianapolis.
- Shepley initiated his return to Toronto himself, explaining, "If I'm able to, then I will," while noting the move offers a "family reunion" for his wife and three-month-old daughter, Bowie.

- Regarding his return's pressure, Shepley stated, "I think pressure is a privilege," emphasizing he aims to control what he can and utilize tools gathered throughout his career.
