Playing with an edge is what makes the Redblacks receiver the player he is, though.
She told Acklin, who was named a Week 13 CFL Top Performer Wednesday, he talks too much on the football field. So the Redblacks receiver, who leads the Canadian Football League in receiving yards with 963 , says he’s going to try to muffle it a bit … maybe.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
“She said I was being rude. That’s how I am sometimes. I’m going to have to maybe tone it down a bit — just for my mom, not for anybody else. Honestly, nothing I ever do is personal. It’s just me having fun and that’s kind of who I’ve always been. That kind of goes back to whenever I was in the backyard playing with my little brothers, talking crap to them. I like getting under other people’s skin.”“He’s tough and he works hard,” Redblacks receivers coach Alex Suber said.
In the win over the Alouettes, Acklin had a career-high 159 yards in catches on seven receptions. It was his league-leading fifth 100-plus-yard game of the season and the seventh of his career. In two seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats — with Grey Cup appearances each year — Acklin had 708 and 678 yards in catches. Safe to say he’s taken a big leap ahead in his career in 2022. The individual stats, though, aren’t the most important thing to Acklin.
“I just want to win, as cheesy as that sounds,” Acklin said. “We’ve seen in the past two weeks we can finish football games. What hurt us early in the season is we made critical mistakes and we found ways to lose. It’s about making the playoffs, getting to the Grey Cup and winning … that’s really it.”: Lorenzo Mauldin IV just keeps putting up the numbers. Signed by the Redblacks as a free agent in the off-season, the 29-year-old defensive end was also named a CFL Top Performer Wednesday.
