The CFL’s all-time leader in kickoff average once again led the league in that category with an average of 67.4, including one 95 yard boot. The Laval product had three games last season with at least five field goals made including kicking six in the Eastern Final. Bede was the Boatmen’s 2021 nominee for Most Outstanding Special Teams Player. The six-year CFL veteran spent the first five seasons of his career in Montreal (2015-2019) where he was named an East All-Star in 2015.
