TORONTO — After winning the league’s Most Outstanding Player in 2021, Zach Collaros has been named the top player in the CFL on TSN’s annual top 50 players list.
En route to his first career MOP award, Collaros was the league’s most effective passer, finishing the season with a league-leading 111.0 efficiency rating, while throwing just six interceptions on the year. Collaros’ completion percentage of 70.2 was second only to Montreal’s Trevor Harris. The Winnipeg pivot was also the only quarterback in 2021 to record 20 passing touchdowns on the year, while no other quarterback was able to surpass 14.
The last time Collaros made an an appearance on the top 50 players list was in 2017. He was named the No.11 player that season and was the starting quarterback for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who he has since defeated twice in the last two Grey Cups.
As Collaros and the Bombers look to capture a third consecutive championship, the new season kicks off Thursday night when the Montreal Alouettes visit the Calgary Stampeders, with kickoff set for 9:00 p.m. ET.
