The Ticats made four more signings on Friday: international defensive tackle Drake Nevis, international running back Ray Holley and international offensive linemen Stephane Milhim and Kevin Henry.
These feel like depth signings – the Ticats are solid at these positions – but you never know. Nevis has legit NFL experience and could provide depth behind Bryan Hall.
Here are the descriptions from the team and some video.
Drake Nevis, a 6-2, 285-pound, native of Marrero, Louisiana, was drafted in the 3rd round, 87th overall in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. Over the course of four seasons, Nevis spent time with the San Diego Chargers, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars and Carolina Panthers, recording 50 tackles and one sack in 26 career games.

He also added 451 yards on 49 receptions and one touchdown as a receiver out of the backfield. The 24-year-old was named a Capital One Academic First-Team All-American and All-WAC Second-Team in 2012.
Stephane Milhim , a 6-5, 215-pound, native of Pembroke Pines, Florida, started in 37 games for the University of Massachusetts Minutemen at five different positions on the offensive line. The 24-year-old signed as a free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013.
