TORONTO — A historic first for Trey Vaval.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ electrifying kick returner was named the CFL’s top special-teams player for a second straight season Thursday.
Vaval became the first player in league history to capture the honour in two straight years.
The 26-year-old from Blue Springs, Mo., led the league with 2,868 total kick return yards, averaging 13.8 yards per punt return and 24.2 yards per kickoff return.
