Bombers’ Stanley Bryant earns second outstanding CFL lineman award

Nov 22, 2018 | 6:53 PM

EDMONTON — Stanley Bryant of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers was named the CFL’s top lineman Thursday night.

Bryant was honoured at the league’s awards banquet.

Voting was conducted by the Football Reporters of Canada and nine CFL head coaches.

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).

The six-foot-five, 311-pound Bryant led another solid season for Winnipeg’s offensive line. Not only did Andrew Harris run for a league-high 1,390 yards but the Bombers scored a CFL-best 53 offensive touchdowns and allowed 36 sacks, tied for third-fewest in the league.

Guard Brandon Revenberg of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats was the East’s finalist.
