Brady Oliveira voted most outstanding player and top Canadian again for Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Running back Brady Oliveira is the Bombers most outstanding player for the fourth straight season.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Brady Oliveira has been voted both the club's most outstanding player and the top Canadian for the fourth straight season. Oliveira leads the CFL in rushing with 1,344 yards and is just 174 yards behind Edmonton Elks' Justin Rankin in the chase for a third career rushing title. Oliveira holds five consecutive thousand-yard seasons, a CFL record for a Canadian.
The Blue Bombers' other team awards follow similar patterns, with defensive back Evan Holm nominated for most outstanding defensive player and returner Trey Vaval named top special teamer. The CFL has adjusted its award format this year, allowing players who didn't win their team award to be voted as finalists. The finalists will be announced on October 27 and 28.
