“Obviously team wins … they mean much more and with the playoffs coming up it means a lot more. But, you know, I take those as they come.”
Santos-Knox said the nomination was “an honour” considering the “great players” and “leaders” on the Ticats defense.
“You know, it’s easy, I’ve got great guys on my front …back end’s amazing … so it’s just a blessing to have great guys around me,” said Santos-Knox.
