The Winnipeg Blue Bombers had three players voted to the Canadian Football League Players’ Association all-star team on Thursday, but Adam Bighill was not one of them.
The all-star team is voted on by the players — they chose the Calgary Stampeders’ Alex Singleton for the middle linebacker all-star spot.

Offensive lineman Sukh Chungh, safety Taylor Loffler, and long snapper Chad Rempel were all chosen for the all-star team.
Over 400 ballots were cast and players also chose William Powell of the Ottawa RedBlacks over the league’s leading rusher Andrew Harris.
Jeremiah Masoli of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats was voted the top quarterback and his head coach June Jones was voted as the all-star coach.
