James Wilder has won the Rookie of the Year at the CFL Awards. Well deserved.

Hear, hear. I was at that Edmonton game that served as his coming out party. Thought he ran a little high at first, but that sprinter's form serves him well when he gets in the open field. Strong enough too to make tacklers bounce off of him. Basically turned the team into Grey Cup contenders once he emerged.

Well deserved, consummate team player as well.

This was the only award I wasn't !00% sure about. Not because I think Wilder doesn't deserve it, but because I wondered how much stock the voters would put on the amount of games Wilder played in, so I'm pleasantly a bit surprised.
Great to see! He's definitely a player that is making an impact both on and off the field.
Wilder has made a point of thanking the o-linemen publicly, including at one home game when a TSN sideline camera was in his face and he urged the camera op to show his o-linemen instead. He's a class act who has responded well to Trestman's style of leadership.
