2002 Preseason: This is Morgan's fourth season in the Roughriders organization and his third as a starter. Quickly being recognized as one of the best corners in the CFL. Was looking at NFL opportunities, but decided to re-sign with the Roughriders in the offseason.

2001 Preseason: Riders counting on Morgan to be more of a leader in defensive backfield.

2000 Regular Season: Led the Riders in interceptions with four. Even though he was the Riders' best defensive back all season, still managed to improve with each game out. Suffered some injuries near end of the year.

2000 Preseason: Was the best cover man in training camp and was one of the first of the rookies to win a spot on the roster. Should be the best Rider defensive back this season.

1999: Went to camp with Roughriders but left before final cuts in June. Came back later in the month and stayed on practice roster rest of the season.

1998: Tried out with St. Louis Rams and left camp to be with his ill mother.
