WHO IS YOUR ONE CAN’T-MISS PLAYER FOR AN ALL-CFL SELECTION?

Kristina Costabile: Tyrice Beverette | Montreal Alouettes | LB 

Tyrice Beverette does a little bit little bit of every thing on the Als’ defence, and he does all of it very well. His stat line is overflowing with tackles on defence and particular groups, knockdowns, tackles for loss, interceptions, sacks, fumble recoveries, and compelled fumbles. Wherever the ball is, Beverette isn’t distant. He’s a no brainer to be named an All-CFL choice.

José Ferraz: Tyrell Ford | Winnipeg Blue Bombers | CB

Ford is the best graded defensive participant in 2024 in keeping with Professional Soccer Focus and it’s very simple to see why.

The Nationwide cornerback just isn’t solely a playmaker (six interceptions), but in addition locks down his opponents on a weekly foundation. Ford has allowed solely 50.8 per cent of the passes thrown in his path to be accomplished, forcing 15 incompletions and permitting solely 22 first downs all season, together with solely 4 within the final 5 video games.

Not sufficient? How about the truth that Ford has allowed solely 151 yards during the last eight video games whereas additionally registering 4 picks? All-CFL, Most Excellent Defensive Participant of the Yr and Most Excellent Participant; nothing is out of attain for Tre Ford’s twin brother.

Marshall Ferguson: Justin McInnis | BC Lions | WR 

Whereas I don’t imagine a range needs to be based mostly solely on statistics, what Justin McInnis has executed this season is nothing wanting unimaginable contemplating the context of his early profession numbers and comparatively restricted alternatives. To see him main in receiving yards and touchdowns by the primary month of the season was particular. To see it persevering with past Labour Day is WILD!

Don Landry: Justin Hardy | Ottawa REDBLACKS | WR

Plenty of names soar proper out me however I believe they’d do the identical for different individuals when contemplating this query. So let me go the route of providing up a participant which may not pop right away but needs to be thought of a lock for All-CFL. Ottawa receiver Justin Hardy has had a sensational season. Second in yardage with 910, Hardy has 4 100-plus yard video games to his credit score and that’s tops within the league. He’s tied for second in receptions with 68, and his 20 second-down conversion catches places him simply exterior the highest 5 in that class. He’s been cash.

Jamie Nye: Rolan Milligan Jr. | Saskatchewan Roughriders | HB
(unique submission included 75 exclamation factors)

Milligan leads in defensive performs, takeaways, interceptions, cross knockdowns, AND SPECIAL TEAMS TACKLES!!!!!

What number of exclamation factors do I’ve to place in to be sure you all know the way apparent it’s that this man just isn’t solely an all-star however a Most Excellent Participant/Defensive Participant candidate?

Chris O’Leary: Janarion Grant | Toronto Argonauts |WR/Ret

If we’re taking a look at no-brainer, impossible-to-argue alternatives, Grant is the primary participant that involves thoughts for me. The Argos’ return specialist is on a brand new crew in 2024, however seems to be nearly as good as he ever has, with 4 complete return touchdowns on the season (one kickoff, three on punts). The 30-year-old leads the league in punt return yards (753), and mixed return yards (1,726). The Argos boast the very best punt return common within the league (14.9). Grant is a sport changer, able to offering a kind of handful of performs that coaches at all times speak about that swing issues of their crew’s favour.
