Toronto Argonauts returner Leake named CFL’s top special-teams performer

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Javon Leake of the Toronto Argonauts was named the CFL’s top special-teams performer Thursday night.

Leake was honoured during the CFL’s awards banquet at Fallsview Casino & Resort.

The six-foot 205-pound Leake was the CFL’s top punt returner (81 for 1,216 yards, 15-yard average) with a club-record four returned for TDs, one short of the CFL record.

Leake becomes the fourth Argo to win the award but first since kicker Swayze Waters in 2014.
