Calvillo, Simon headline ’17 Canadian Football Hall of Fame inductees
They spent their CFL careers on different squads but quarterback Anthony Calvillo and receiver Geroy Simon will now forever be teammates.
The record-setting performers headline a solid 2017 class named for induction into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. Simon and Calvillo were both selected in their first years of eligibility Wednesday night at Mosaic Stadium.
“You look at the history of the CFL and the people that have been inducted and it’s a special, special place to be,” Calvillo said. “Whether it’s in your first year, second year or 15th year, to me the most important thing is if you get in, you’re in.
“It just speaks volumes to go in with someone like Geroy who mastered his craft, was great for so many years and was so enjoyable to watch.”
