The Montreal Alouettes have something to celebrate! Two of their star players have just received exceptional recognition from the Canadian Football League.
Davis Alexander was named Player of the Year, while his teammate Tyson Philpot was named Canadian Player of the Year.
Both awards were announced on Thursday and cap off a remarkable season for the Montreal team.
As for Alexander, the statistics speak for themselves. The quarterback had the best season of his career, surpassing the 5,000-yard passing mark for the first time. He finished the year with an impressive 5,257 passing yards, along with 35 touchdown passes and just four interceptions.
In 16 starts, the No. 10 also completed 72.1% of his pass attempts. His efficiency allowed him to finish the season with a passer rating of 122.7, while directly contributing to the Alouettes' excellent results.
Montreal indeed finished the season with a 13-3 record in the 16 games Alexander started. He thus becomes the first player in the organization to receive the Most Valuable Player award since the legendary Anthony Calvillo in 2009.
Tyson Philpot Makes Canadian Football History
The other big star of the evening was undoubtedly Tyson Philpot. The Alouettes wide receiver edged out several top players, including Brady Oliveira and Nathan Rourke, to win the Canadian Player of the Year award.
With 124 receptions, 1,809 yards, and 13 touchdowns, Philpot led the CFL in receiving yards. He also etched his name into the history books by setting several new records.
Notably, he broke the Montreal franchise record for most receptions in a season, previously held by Ben Cahoon with 112 catches.
The receiver also broke historic CFL records for receiving yards and passes caught by a Canadian player.
These two accolades demonstrate just how important Alexander and Philpot have been to the Alouettes this season. Montreal now has two players recognized among the league's best—excellent news for Quebec football fans.
