Tino Sunseri (born December 21, 1988) is a Canadian football quarterback who is currently a free agent. He was originally signed by the Roughriders in 2013.^[1] He played college football at Pittsburgh.

Professional career

Sunseri holds the all-time professional football (NFL and CFL) record for the most two-point converts scored in a single game, at three, for six points in total (one short of the all-time team record of four scored by the St. Louis Rams during their game with the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 15, 2000); all done consecutively (via passing), in a 31-24 loss to the Calgary Stampeders on Oct. 3, 2014. Three two-point conversions in a single game by one team is an all-time CFL record.

On June 15, 2015, Sunseri was among the Roughriders first cuts, and was released to free agency. On July 1, 2015, it was announced that he was re-signed to the Saskatchewan Roughriders due to a season-ending injury to the Roughriders' starting quarterback Darian Durant. General Manager Brendan Taman stated Tino's knowledge of Jacques Chapdelaine's offensive system was the key to his signing.^[2] On September 1, 2015, Sunseri was once again cut by the Roughriders. His cut was among the firing of the Roughriders head coach and general manager, after an 0-9 start to the 2015 season.^[3]

Personal life

His father, Sal Sunseri, is a Linebackers coach for the Oakland Raiders and his younger brother, Vinnie Sunseri, plays professional football for the New England Patriots.^[4]
