TORONTO – Defensive back Richard Leonard and receiver Tim White of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as well as Montreal Alouettes defensive back Adarius Pickett were named the CFL’s top performers for Week 19 on Tuesday.

It was the fourth career multi-interception game for Leonard, who also had eight tackles and another on special teams in the contest.
