Montreal Alouettes News Release
The CFL announced tonight that three Alouettes have taken home Most Outstanding Player awards this season:
The CFL's top player in 2003 and 2008, and a finalist for that honour in 2002 and 2004, Calvillo has taken home MOP honours for a second-straight year. He totalled 4,639 passing yards in 2009, leading the CFL with a 72 per cent completion rate, 26 touchdown passes, a quarterback rating of 108.4 and the fewest interceptions with six. He was named an East Division and CFL All-Star this season.
Now the league's two-time defending top offensive lineman, Flory also took the East Division's award in 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009. Long known as the leader of the Als' O-line, he was a CFL All-Star in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and has been named an East Division All-Star eighth-straight times.
The Alouettes' top rookie and special teamer last year, Taylor continued his dominance on kick and punt runbacks, lighting up the league for 788 yards and a pair of majors on 89 punt returns this season. He also had 1,059 yards on 51 kickoff returns and 124 yards and a touchdown on missed field goal returns. He was named a CFL and East Division All-Star for the first time this year.
