Toronto kicker Lirim Hajrullahu searching for second Grey Cup ring after previously winning with Argonauts in 2017
Toronto Argonauts' Lirim Hajrullahu kicks a field goal during practice ahead of the 111th CFL Grey Cup, in Vancouver, on Nov. 13, 2024.The veteran CFL kicker’s first name means “release” in Albanian. Hajrullahu was born in Gjilan, Kosovo, and his family immigrated to Canada in 1999 to escape the civil war there.
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 returned to Toronto this season following an NFL stint with the Los Angeles Rams, Carolina, Washington and Dallas. He appeared in four games, making four-for-five field goals and all eight converts while recording 17 kickoffs.
When Kelly was reinstated, Toronto had a 5-4 record. After three straight first-place finishes, the Argos were second in the East before dispatching Ottawa 58-38 in the division semi-final then advancing to the Grey Cup with a 30-28 win over Montreal last weekend.
