Shawn Lemon is going out on top. The veteran defensive lineman announced his CFL retirement Wednesday.
The veteran defensive lineman announced his CFL retirement Wednesday. The decision came less than five months after Lemon helped the Montreal Alouettes defeat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 28-24 at Tim Hortons Field for their first Grey Cup title since 2010.
After acquiring Lemon, Montreal went 12-4, including the post-season. He had 26 defensive tackles, nine sacks, two interceptions and one forced fumble in 13 regular-season games. "Then me as a player not having signed with Hamilton but winning a Grey Cup in home locker room, I couldn't have written a better script."
Lemon registered 237 tackles and 101 sacks in 237 career regular-season games. He also had three interceptions, forced 30 fumbles and returned a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Lemon said there were many CFL coaches and front-office personnel who were instrumental over his career, including Montreal general manager, Danny Maciocia, head coach Jason Maas, defensive co-ordinator Noel Thorpe and defensive line coach Corvey Irvin.
