Argos Re-Sign 2022 All-Star WR Kurleigh Gittens Jr. Through 2025

TORONTO – The Toronto Argonauts Football Club announced today the team has re-signed Canadian WR Kurleigh Gittens Jr. for three more years.

Gittens Jr., 25, had a spectacular 2022 campaign that saw the young receiver catch 81 passes (fifth best in the CFL) for 1,101 yards (sixth best) and five touchdowns, while leading the league in yards after catch (483), on route to being named a CFL All-Star for the first time in his career. The Ottawa native was Toronto’s nominee for Most Outstanding Canadian for the second season in a row and was the East Division nominee for the award in 2022 as well, after leading all Canadian pass catchers in receiving yards last season. The Laurier product led the Double Blue in every major receiving category in 2022, had three 100-yard games including a career high 161 at Ottawa in September, and a 9-97-1 line in the Eastern Final win over Montreal. The third-round draft pick of the Boatmen in 2019 (23rd overall) has played in 44 regular season games for the club, hauling in 132 receptions for 1,716 yards and nine touchdowns.
