Lions' Adam Bighill wins CFL Most Outstanding Defensive Player Award

Bighill edged Hamilton’s Simoni Lawrence for the honour.

The 27-year-old linebacker was one of the few bright lights for the Lions this season. Bighill was counted on greatly this year, particularly after reigning MOP Solomon Elimimian tore his achilles back in August. His 117 tackles was tops in the league.
