Hugh Charles, Bryant Turner, Jock Sanders and Andrew Harris were named the Gibson’s Finest Players of the Week for Week 2 of the 2013 Canadian Football League season.
The four players were chosen by a panel of judges including: former Canadian Football League players Matt Dunigan and Duane Forde, now of TSN, and Pierre Vercheval of RDS.
Charles earns top offensive honours after rushing for 119 yards on 11 carries, including an electric 70-yard run for a touchdown to help the Eskimos defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 30-20 for their first win of the season.
The Tulsa, Oklahoma native also caught three passes for 27 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown.
Turner walks away with the Defensive Player of the Week nod following his strong outing against the Alouettes. Turner led the Blue Bombers defence with two tackles, three sacks, and forced a fumble in the Bombers' win.
The three-year CFL veteran from Mobile, Alabama was one of the reasons Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo was limited to only 121 yards through the air in the game.
Turner is currently tied for the league-lead in sacks with three.
Sanders, meanwhile, returned four kickoffs for 100 yards and six punts for 74 yards en-route to being named Special Teams Player of the Week.
The former West Virginia Mountaineer and St. Petersburg, FL native currently sits in fourth place in combined return yards with 266.
Finally, Harris was named the Canadian Player of the Week for Week 2 thanks to his impressive performance in BC's win over the Argos. The Winnipeg native had 15 carries for 103 yards and scored a touchdown in the Lions' 24-16 win over the Grey Cup Champion, Toronto Argonauts.
He also had six catches for 49 yards
