Calgary Stampeders defensive lineman Derek Wiggan has been recognized by his teammates as a key contributor on and off the football field.
Wiggan was presented the Stampeders’ Presidents’ Ring award for the second year in a row on Tuesday. The award is presented to the player who best demonstrates excellence on and off the field, as voted by players.
The Stampeders said candidates for the award are judged on their in-game contributions, leadership, inspiration and motivational skills. “I just kind of do my thing,” he said. “I want to make plays, 100 per cent I have high standards for myself, but I don’t need all the lights and cameras and action, right? It’s nice, it’s nice, but as long as we win, that’s the main thing for me.”
