Here’s a look at CFL players to keep an eye on as the regular season gets set to kick off
Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Brady Oliveira celebrates after scoring a touchdown during the Grey Cup game against the Montreal Alouettes, in Hamilton, Ont., on Nov. 19, 2023.
The five-foot-10, 222-pound Winnipeg native was the CFL’s top Canadian and outstanding player finalist last season after rushing for a league-high 1,534 yards – second-most ever by a Canadian after Calgary’s Jon Cornish ran for 1,813 yards in 2013. Oliveira also led the league in yards from scrimmage and touchdowns .
Oliveira had a league-best seven 100-yard games rushing while recording career highs in catches and receiving yards . That earned Oliveira a new two-year deal that will reportedly pay him $230,000 this season and $240,000 in 2025. But Oliveira’s stellar campaign ended badly as the Montreal Alouettes defeated Winnipeg 28-24 in the Grey Cup. While the Bombers look to make a fifth straight championship appearance, they last won in 2021.The six-foot-three, 233-pound running back signed with B.C. after being released by Montreal following five seasons with the CFL club.
