Derek’s Top 5:
1) Ryan Smith
Just 24 years old and already has shown tremendous big play ability and realiability in making the big catch. Smith had 6 catches of 40+ yards this season while leading the Green & White with 991 Receiving Yards.
2) Rob Bagg
Just turned 30 but continues to produce. The Queen’s product has put up back to back 500+ Yard/50+ Catch seasons for the first time in his career, the bulk of that without Darian Durant. Bagg’s leadership & work ethic cannot be overlooked.
3) Weldon Brown
While injured for most of 2015 Brown did put up an average of 50 tackles in his first 2 years with the Green & White. The 28 year old is able to shift around and play both Linebacker and DB making him a key piece of a Defence that was more than lacking without him in 2015.
4) Xavier Fulton
Starting left tackle…Nuff said. After a shaky 2014 the 29 year old seems to have righted himself and locks down that left side with all-star Brendon LaBatte next to him.
5) Terrell Maze
The Riders were awful on D in 2015. Getting a healthy Maze back in the secondary could help right that ship….The caveat is healthy. Head injuries are delicate and unpredictable.
