Hate to say it, but I see Cornish winning MOP. That way Harris wins best Canadian. Nothing against Fulton, but is Maze considered a rookie?
Darren
Dressler has the #'s to be MOP, but the team doesn't. I would have to say its Cornish vs Calvillo for all the marbles again.
Picard hasn't got a shot at Canadian, but I like his chances at top lineman.
Brad
I think its Cornish against Williams as well with one of them taking home two trophies because Cornish will be top Canuck and Williams will be best ST player.
It's a shame Kory Sheets not honoured with any kind of selection.This first year player did a great job of representing this organization on and off the field and was a big reason this team had a better record then last year, phenomenal running back, all round athlete. Thank you Mr. Kory Sheets.
