As he did most times this season, Chad Owens ran away from the crowd Thursday.
The Toronto Argonauts’ electrifying returner was named the CFL’s top special-teams performer at the league’s awards banquet. Owens was a unanimous selection over Yonus Davis of the B.C. Lions in voting conducted by the Football Reporters of Canada and the eight CFL head coaches.
The East Division nominee led the CFL in punt, kickoff, missed field goal returns and all-purpose yards and tied for the league lead in return touchdowns with four. He became just the fifth player in league history to have over 1,000 punt and kick return yards in the same season.
Davis had three return TDs this season and league-best 25.5-yard kickoff return average.
