'I’d probably go with Bo because he checks off all the boxes.' Bo Levi Mitchell has Ricky Ray’s vote. Ray is among 12 quarterbacks who have been nominated for CFL’s all-decade team (2010-19).

Ray is among 12 quarterbacks who have been nominated for CFL’s all-decade team . And although Ray guided the Toronto Argonauts to two Grey Cups and threw for 28,634 yards and twice as many TDs to interceptions over that span, he’d give Mitchell the first-team nod.

Mitchell has amassed a stellar 77-18 record as a starter and led the Stampeders to four Grey Cup appearances, winning two. A two-time CFL MVP, Mitchell threw for 27,937 yards, 169 TDs and 70 interceptions over eight seasons and his 99.8 passing efficiency is second only to Edmonton’s Trevor Harris .

“I just wanted some down time so the last year and a half I’ve just been hanging with my family,” Ray said. “I’m thankful I was able to make some good money playing and have this time to not have to work and enjoy myself.” “I’ve been playing football my whole life, it’s kind of what I do and what I know. I feel like I’d really love an opportunity to be part of that team atmosphere again and have a chance to coach some guys, help them get better and be part of a winning team. Being able to experience all that again would be pretty awesome.”

“At one point I couldn’t throw the football 15 yards without it hurting and that wore on me so much the last four years that it took some of the enjoyment away from the game. But what I started to miss was when I saw teams winning a championship knowing I wouldn’t have a chance to do that again, to be part of a team that really caught fire and had a championship run.”

“The two earlier ones in Edmonton both had a lot of meaning. But 2017 definitely gave me that fulfilling satisfaction after what I’d been through and being near the end of my career.”
