TORONTO, Ont. – The Flyin’ Hawaiian was named the CFL’s outstanding player, receiving the nod over Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish.
“Four years ago I had no real idea what the CFL was,” said Owens, who accepted the trophy with his nine-year-old son, Chad Jr. “Everything that happened to me prior in my career, it all happened for this moment.
“In 2008 did I see this? No. But this off-season did I see this? Yes. You always have to believe you have a chance and I truly did. I’m just so thankful it came true.’
Owens received 41 of the 57 available ballots.
Owens is a big reason why Toronto will make its first Grey Cup appearance since 2004 when it faces Cornish and the Stampeders in the 100th anniversary of the Grey Cup Sunday at Rogers Centre.
