Congi was drafted out of college by Saskatchewan (12th overall) in 2006, and he won the position of punter/placekicker in training camp. He replaced the Roughriders longtime franchise kicker Paul McCallum, who left Saskatchewan to join the BC Lions as a free agent in 2006. Congi won a Grey Cup with Saskatchewan in 2007.[1] After the 2007 season, Congi was no longer the primary punter for Saskatchewan, with that role going to Jamie Boreham followed by Louie Sakoda in 2010. Instead, he handled all of Saskatchewan's placekicking duties. He was released following the 2011 season after Congi spent most of that season recuperating from injury while Christopher Milo filled in for him and ultimately replaced him.[2]
His unorthodox kicking habit was noticed by many sportscasters. When he kicked the ball for a field goal, he did not look at where it is going, but instead looked at the ground only to look up when the ball is through the uprights.
Hamilton Tiger-Catsedit
He was signed by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on March 23, 2012.[3] He played two seasons for the Tiger-Cats before quitting the team February 2014 in the wake of the team's re-signing of Justin Medlock, who had also been the Tiger-Cats' kicker before Congi's arrival.[4]
