"Bev is the league's best Will linebacker and was an all-star and Grey Cup champion last season for a reason," said Kenny Kim of Summit Athletes, Beverette's Florida-based agent."Tyrice is a humble, soft-spoken person but between the white lines his play speaks volumes and he's always raising the bar.Montreal visits Toronto on Friday night. Beverette said the focus remains on winning this week's game, not the streak.
"Honestly, it's just the environment ... they let me go out and be myself," Beverette said."It's also the group I play with, there's many guys in this locker room who can go out and make plays and possibly be all-stars. "They are guys you're used to playing with, used to sweating with," he said."The environment, the camaraderie we have within the team, we know we have to put in the work but we have a group that's willing to work and put their egos aside.Montreal has also shown resiliency as Friday's contest will be its third on the road.
