TORONTO – The Canadian Football League announced today that return specialist Janarion Grant has been named the CFL’s Most Outstanding Special Teams Player for 2024.

Grant ranked first in the CFL in punt return yards (989), punt return average (14.8), and punt return touchdowns (3), finished second in kick return average (24.4), and fourth in kick return yards (1,000). He also ran back a 103-yard kick return for a touchdown. The Rutgers product had the fifth-best punt return season in Argos history.
