NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Toronto Argonauts tackle Dejon Allen is the CFL’s outstanding lineman.

Allen was honoured Thursday during the CFL awards banquet at Fallsview Casino & Resort.

Voting was conducted by the Football Reporters of Canada and nine CFL head coaches.

The six-foot-two 300-pound Allen completed his third season with Toronto and was a key member of an offensive line that allowed a CFL-low 19 sacks for the Argos (16-2), who tied the league record for most regular-season victories.

Toronto finished second overall in offensive points (29.3 per game), offensive TDs (56), net yards (377.8) and first in average yards per play (7.34).
