The Canadian Football League has unveiled the team award winners for the 2024 season.
The winners were selected by each team’s head coach and four local voting members of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC). Voters were tasked with selecting players whose on-field performances best represent the team’s Most Outstanding Player, Most Outstanding Defensive Player, Most Outstanding Canadian, Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman, Most Outstanding Special Teams Player, and Most Outstanding Rookie.
Several players were honoured in multiple categories, including Saskatchewan Roughriders’ defensive back Rolan Milligan Jr. who was honoured as his team’s M.O.P., Defensive Player, and Special Teams Player. Others to receive multiple selections include B.C. Lions’ receiver Justin McInnis, Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ running back Brady Oliveira, Montreal Alouettes’ linebacker Tyrice Beverette, Calgary Stampeders’ linebacker Cameron Judge, and Ottawa Redblacks’ offensive lineman Drew Desjarlais.
Team award winners will now move on to a second round of voting to determine division finalists, which will be announced on October 31. The East and West Division nominees will go head-to-head in Vancouver during the sold-out CFL Awards on Thursday, November 14, as part of the Grey Cup Festival. CFL on TSN panellists Kate Beirness and Milt Stegall will host the evening ceremony from the Vancouver Convention Centre West. Viewers can tune in via the league’s live-streaming platform, CFL+.
