Brady Oliveira has a tough act to follow. 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.
Jun 05, 2024 at 10:46 AM ETThe 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 .
— A.J. Ouellette, Saskatchewan Roughriders. The five-foot-nine, 208-pound running back ran for a career-best 1,009 yards with eight TDs last season with Toronto while adding 16 catches for 163 yards and two touchdowns. Now with Saskatchewan, Ouellette should help bolster a ground attack that last year was eighth in yards and last in average gain per rush .
— Tim White, Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He led the CFL last season in receiving yards and averaged a solid 16.9 yards per reception. The five-foot-10, 185-pound White has been a 1,000-yard receiver the past two seasons and has 224 catches for 3,308 yards and 18 TDs in 47 career games with Hamilton. — Darnell Sankey, Montreal Alouettes. The six-foot-one, 245-pound linebacker had 31 tackles, a sack and an interception in six regular-season games with Montreal. But he was a force in the playoffs, recording 22 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble in the Als' Grey Cup march. Sankey led the CFL in tackles in 2021 and '22 before heading to the XFL.
