Tyson Philpot looks around training camp and sees an opportunity to be the Montreal Alouettes' No. 1 receiving option. With last year’s standout Austin Mack chasing his NFL dream with the Atlanta Falcons, Philpot thinks it could be his turn to step into that role.
May 24, 2024 at 06:59 AM ETSAINT-JÉRÔME, Que. — Tyson Philpot looks around training camp and sees an opportunity to be the Montreal Alouettes' No. 1 receiving option.
The 23-year-old from Delta, B.C., had a modest 532 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 13 games as a sophomore last season. He missed the start of the year with a hamstring injury and took weeks to build chemistry with quarterback Cody Fajardo. The former University of Calgary Dino says he keeps in touch with Mack and seeks his advice. Mack, who says he’s focused on making the Falcons but will keep a close eye on the Alouettes this year, believes Montreal fans should brace themselves for an exciting season from the third-year Philpot.
"He was making the big play, he was coming through and you could just see the maturity of him and the poise in those big situations. … You see a pro, you see an all-star receiver, you see one of the best in the league.” “He showed he can be a top receiver and the sky's the limit, really. As long as he's out there, which he will be out there, Tyson's gonna dominate."
