WINNIPEG, MB â Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive end Tom Canada is having an outstanding rookie season in the CFL.

Canada â who is presently 2nd in CFL quarterback sacks with seven â had an impressive performance against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Winnipeg Sunday, totaling six defensive tackles and applying pressure on Rider quarterback Henry Burris all day long. The CFL has acknowledged Canada's accomplishments by naming him its Player of the Week in the lineman category.
