McKnight was drafted eighth overall by the Montreal Alouettes in the 2011 CFL Draft and signed with them on July 8, 2012 after completing his college eligibility.[1] He was later traded to the Eskimos in exchange for a placekicker, a first and a fourth round pick in the 2013 CFL Draft on September 12, 2012.[2]
