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.
Leonard earned top-performer honours after registering two interceptions –returning one 64 yards for the touchdown — in Hamilton’s 35-32 road win over the Calgary Stampeders. It was the fourth career multi-interception game for Leonard, who also had eight tackles and another on special teams in the contest.
White had six catches for 106 yards and the game-winning TD against Calgary. He has registered career highs this season in catches (87), receiving yards (1,152) and touchdowns (eight).
