Calgary running back Jerome Messam won his second Most Outstanding Canadian Award Thursday evening, beating out Hamilton Tiger-Cats receiver Andy Fantuz.
Messam led the league in rushing with 1,198 yards and 11 touchdowns, almost 200 yards more than the next closest running back. He also added 485 yards on 54 receptions, with a touchdown.
The Canadian took home the award back in 2011, when he was a member of the Edmonton Eskimos.
