Winnipeg Blue Bombers linebacker Adam Bighill and lineman Stanley Bryant won big Thursday night at the Shaw CFL Awards in Edmonton.
Bighill was named the CFL’s top defensive player, while Bryant was named the CFL’s top lineman.
It’s the second time Bighill has won the award, claiming it also in 2015 while he was with the B.C. Lions.
It’s the second straight year that Bryant has won the honour. He’s the first to do so since Montreal’s Scott Flory (2008-09).
Voting was conducted by members of the Football Reporters of Canada and the nine CFL head coaches.
