TORONTO — Quarterback Zach Collaros of the Grey Cup champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers headlined Wednesday’s list of Canadian Football League all-stars for the 2021 season. 

Collaros, the league’s most outstanding player, guided Winnipeg to a 33-25 overtime victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in last Sunday’s championship game. 

He was one of 11 Blue Bombers to be recognized with all-star selections in voting by the league’s head coaches and members of the Football Reporters of Canada.

Teammate Kenny Lawler took one of five all-star receiver nods. The others were Eugene Lewis and Jake Wieneke of the Montreal Alouettes and Lucky Whitehead and Bryan Burnham of the B.C. Lions.
