VANCOUVER — With a smile, and a shake of his head, Janarion Grant says there’s nothing personal for him about Sunday’s Grey Cup game even though the CFL’s top punt returner will be facing his old team when the Toronto Argonauts play the Winnipeg Blue
Bombers at BC Place Stadium.“It’s not personal,” Grant said during Wednesday’s media day. “It’s another Grey Cup game. I’m blessed to be part of it. I’m just ready to go to work.”
Grant didn’t disappoint. He returned 67 punts for a league-leading 989 yards and three touchdowns during the regular season. He also was second in kickoff returns with 1,000 yards and a touchdown. Grant has a history of playoff heroics. As a Bomber, he returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown in Winnipeg’s 2022 West Final win over the B.C. Lions.
Grant is a compact five-foot-nine and 157 pounds. He is not a bruising runner that plows through people. Instead, he uses his speed and stealth to leave tacklers grasping at air.“You have to stay focused, even if something bad happens,” said Grant. “Just being out there and make a different one play at a time. You know the next play you’re going to make a difference.
For a man who can make lots of noise on the field, Grant is quiet and soft-spoken. Dinwiddie says he has the “best smile in the world.”
