Fajardo, Banks named finalists for MOP. MORE:
Fajardo earns the nod after opening the season as a backup, but quickly took over the lead job once Zach Collaros went down with an injury and led the Roughriders to a 12-5 record this season. The 27-year-old was tops in the CFL this season with 4,302 passing yards and threw 18 touchdowns to eight interceptions.
Tiger-Cats linebacker Simoni Lawrence, who led the league with 95 tackles, and Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive lineman Willie Jefferson, who had 12 sacks and one interception this season, were named as finalists for the most outstanding defensive player. Blue Bombers tackle Stanley Bryant will have an opportunity to repeat as the league’s top lineman for the third straight year on Nov. 21. He was named a finalist Thursday along with Chris Van Zeyl of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
