"But Guy has battled back from this devastating diagnosis and a litany of other injuries to earn a spot amongst the highly-touted offensive prospects in next Tuesday’s CFL Draft."

"The Bombers’ starting quarterback is one tough guy.

This is nothing new, and nothing I haven’t said before; let’s be honest, over his first two seasons here, Drew Willy has taken a beating. The quarterback has spent more time in Head Athletic Therapist Al Couture’s therapy room over two seasons than he should in a lifetime."

"Naaman is somebody who is buying into understanding this league and that he just wants to play football,’’ Copeland said. "It’s not about trying to go back to the NFL. It’s about getting on the field and getting an opportunity to play … When that happens, guys know they get a chance to play football and get paid for it. So I think Naaman will be around for a while.’’

This is really worth your click-through.

In his Week 6 matchup versus the B.C. Lions, Willy completed 17 of 25 (68 percent) of his passes while throwing for 269 yards and throwing a pair of touchdowns in the Bombers 23-13 victory at Investors Group Field. The 6’4" 221 lbs. pivot displayed his athleticism running for a career-high 72 yards on five rushes (14.4 yards per carry) including a 30-yard scamper in the second quarter. It's Drew's second time winning the award this season.

Darvin Adams’ teammates tried to give the Winnipeg Blue Bombers receiver the game ball, but he instead gave it to quarterback Drew Willy.

Despite hauling in four catches for a career-high 127 yards and one touchdown in a 23-13 win over the B.C. Lions Thursday, Adams said his performance paled in comparison to Willy.

Willy passed for 269 yards and two touchdowns on an injured knee, which also held up during his five carries for a career-high 72 yards.

"He’s coming off an injury and comes back and plays tough running ball," said Adams. "He’s trying to run people over and everything so you’ve got to love that. I play hard for him."

Good news from Winnipeg.

Missed this last night, but for UB receiver Natey Adjei finally got his touchdown for Toronto last night, in a memorable 21-point comeback for the Argos against BC.

Drew appears to be OK after hit to the head last week.
