MIAMI -- Running back Jerome Messam, a 1,000-yard rusher in the Canadian Football League last year, has signed with the Miami Dolphins.
The Canadian Press reported that the 6-foot-3, 245-pound Messam signed a three-year deal.
Messam played the past two seasons in the CFL. With Edmonton last year, he had 195 carries for 1,057 yards, and 27 receptions for 248 yards. He was the league's first running back since 2000 to rush for more than 1,000 yards, and he won the Most Outstanding Canadian Award.
A native Canadian, Messam played at Graceland College in Lamoni, Iowa.
Messam becomes the fourth running back under contract with the Dolphins, joining Reggie Bush, who posted his first 1,000-yard season in 2011, second-round pick Daniel Thomas and Richard Medlin.
The Dolphins have found talent in the CFL before, signing linebacker Cameron Wake in 2009. Wake has 28 sacks since signing with Miami.

He played for the Eskimoes, but he is from Brampton, Ontario.
I believe the Dolphins will use Messam as a Fullback. |
