On Sunday, Hajrullahu will look to get his name engraved on the Grey Cup for a second time when Toronto faces the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at B.C. Place Stadium. In 2017, Hajrullahu had the game-winning boot in the Argos' 27-24 victory over the Calgary Stampeders.
Nov 14, 2024 at 12:58 PM ETVANCOUVER — It's a mouthful, but Lirim Hajrullahu's name comes with a compelling story.
Hajrullahu, 34, isn't one to look too far ahead but he can see himself again kicking the winning field goal Sunday. That's because visualization has long been a big part of his preparation. Hajrullahu has been stellar this season, hitting on 55-of-61 field goals and 35-of-37 converts . On Sept. 28, the five-foot-11, 205-pound kicker booted eight field goals — a club record, and tying the CFL mark — in a 37-31 win over the Montreal Alouettes.
Throughout the season, Toronto has relied heavily upon its defence and special teams . This year, Hajrullahu established career highs in field goals tried and made and welcomed the workload. Hajrullahu began his pro career with Winnipeg in 2014, making the team an undrafted free agent out of Western Ontario.
