Among the honourees were Rider Receiver Ajou Ajou, Quarterback Shea Patterson, Right Tackle Jacob Brammer (who was replacing the injured Jermarcus Hardrick) and the entire offensive line.

The awards are handed out on the basis of Pro Football Focus analytics. (PFF)

PFF utilizes extensive review of game footage to provide additional context for every action on the field. Highly-trained PFF staff breakdown every game, player and play to provide over 200 unique data points, which are used to compile Player Grades – a numerical representation up-to-100 of performance at their specific position.

Each week, the highest individual Player Grades on offence and defence, as well as the highest graded offensive line, will be recognized in the CFL Honour Roll.
