Toronto Argonauts name quarterback Doug Flutie to their all-time team
TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts named former quarterback Doug Flutie to their all-time team Monday.
The former Heisman Trophy winner concluded his illustrious CFL career with two seasons in Toronto. He led the Argos to consecutive Grey Cup titles those years (1996-97) and was the game MVP on both occasions before joining the NFL’s Buffalo Bills as a free agent.
Flutie holds Toronto single-season records for passing yards (5,720 in 1996), completions (434 in ’96) and TD strikes (47 in ’97).
“On behalf of our fans, our team, and our alumni, congratulations to Doug on this well-deserved honour,” Toronto president Michael Copeland said in a statement. “In just two years he led the Argos to two Grey Cups, re-wrote the record book and captured the hearts of our fans with his electrifying play.
