Ottawa Redblacks

[edit | edit source]

On September 6, 2022, Crum signed with the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League (CFL) midway through the 2022 CFL season.[21] Following the season he and the Redblacks agreed to a contract extension.[22] He began the 2023 season as a depth quarterback on the roster, behind Jeremiah Masoli, Nick Arbuckle, and Tyrie Adams. Crum saw his first playing time in Week 5 of the season when all the other quarterbacks were either injured or ineffective, he completed 14 of 21 passing attempts for 149 yards and ran the ball six times for 91 yards and a touchdown, but also had three turnovers. With starting quarterback Masoli injured head coach Bob Dyce announced Crum as the starting quarterback for the team's Week 6 match against the Blue Bombers.[23] After a slow start to the game Crum managed to engineer a comeback win for the Redblacks scoring a 12-yard rushing touchdown with no time remaining, and the subsequent two point conversion to tie the game. In overtime he scrambled for a 29-yard go ahead touchdown.[24] The following week he threw for 257 yards with two passing touchdowns and added 63 yards on the ground to beat the Calgary Stampeders 43-41 on the road in overtime.[25]
