Redblacks kicker Lewis Ward captures CFL’s outstanding rookie honour
EDMONTON – Ottawa Redblacks kicker Lewis Ward was named the CFL’s top rookie Thursday night.
Lewis was honoured at the league’s awards banquet.
Voting was conducted by the Football Reporters of Canada and nine CFL head coaches.
Ward made 51-of-52 field goals (league-record 98.1 per cent), including a pro football-record 48 straight that will carry over into 2019.
The native of Kingston, Ont., accumulated 169 points this season for Ottawa, which faces the Calgary Stampeders in the Grey Cup on Sunday.
Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver Jordan Williams-Lambert was the finalist. He was the club’s receiving leader with 62 catches for 764 yards and four TDs.
