Ottawa Redblacks' wide receiver R.J Harris' phone might be dead if he had his Twitter push notifications on today.
Around 11 a.m., Friday, President of the United States Donald J. Trump was quoting a Pennsylvania radio personality named R.J. Harris on Twitter, but he tagged the Redblacks' reciever instead.
“You go around Pennsylvania and you see Trump signs everywhere. The Donald Trump situation is bigger than the Reagan Revolution. Donald Trump has inspired us.” @RjHarris15 WHP580

In just a few hours, that tweet had more than 7,500 comments, all of which included Harris' twitter tag.
The football player who spent his seems to be taking it in stride and making the most out of the situation, however.

The German-born Harris spent his college football days at the University of New Hamshire before signing with the National Football League's New Orleans Saints in 2015. He spent time with the Atlanta Falcons as well before making his way to the Toronto Argonauts in 2017. That spring, Harris signed with BC and Winnipeg before eventually finding a home in Ottawa.
