The CFL site lists 17 sophomores who its opinion are on the verge of breaking through next year. Two of them are Argos - Ken Bishop and Thomas Gordon. I would add Brian Jones. Who do you think is on the verge of a breakout year?
11. Ken Bishop | DL
Team: TOR | Age: 26
His numbers don’t jump off the page, which is not unusual for an interior lineman, but Ken Bishop quietly put up a very solid first CFL season.
The 26-year-old started 15 games for the Argos and recorded three sacks and 21 tackles, helping to replace departed tackles Cleyon Laing and Euclid Cummings.
Bishop should have a starting role locked up for 2017 on a team that could see plenty of change elsewhere.
16. Thomas Gordon | DB
Team: TOR | Age: 25
While 2016 was like a bad dream for Rich Stubler’s Argo defence, it wasn’t all bad. A small handful of young players showed they may just have a CFL future, including linebacker Thomas Gordon.
The 25-year-old is listed as a defensive back but also spent time at the SAM and WILL, recording 37 defensive tackles, two sacks, an interception and a forced fumble over 14 games.
