Hamilton Tiger-Cats News Release
Hamilton, Ontario - A pair of Hamilton Tiger-Cats have been recognized as CFL Players of the Week for their efforts in Friday's 40-14 win over the Edmonton Eskimos at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
Craig Yeast was awarded Offensive Player of the Week after recording 166 receiving yards on six receptions. Yeast's longest catch came in the second quarter when he grabbed a 52-yard strike from Danny McManus. The Ticats leading receiver has caught 58 passes for 930 yards and three touchdowns this season.
"Craig is an exceptional player who had an exceptional game," said Ticats Offensive Coordinator Jamie Barresi. "When he gets a step on someone, whether coming across the middle or going deep down the field he is a very exciting and dangerous player."
In only his second game in the league, Kahlil Hill's performance earned him the nod as Special Teams Player of the Week. The speedy receiver impressed Ticats fans by returning three punts for 121 yards, including a crowd-pleasing 80-yard return for a touchdown. Hill also made one reception, an acrobatic 18-yard touchdown catch.
"Kahlil was extremely impressive returning kicks for us," said Special Teams Coach Jerome Erdman. "His decisiveness, speed and natural instincts make him a threat every time the opposition kicks."
Ticats safety Wayne Shaw was named second runner-up for Defensive Player of the Week after making four tackles and one interception.
