Shire: Midseason nominations for Roughriders player awards
Article content After suffering a season-ending injury near the start of last season, the 35-year-old veteran has been an anchor at right tackle this season, which is exactly what the Roughriders were hoping for when they lured him from Winnipeg in free agency last year. Article content Article content In a veteran-heavy lineup, there aren't a lot of options when it comes to naming Saskatchewan's top rookie. Article content Since receiver Joe Robustelli suited up for one regular season game last year, he's ineligible for the top rookie award this year. That leaves left tackle Payton Collins as the man leading the way this year. Article content After fellow left tackle Trevor Reid earned this award last year before leaving for an NFL opportunity, the Roughriders were left to fill the position with another rookie this season. Article content In stepped Collins, who has drawn rave reviews from his coaches and teammates for his work at left tackle. Even though he missed seven weeks with an injury, if Collins continues to hold down the blindside for the second half of the season, he should earn the most votes at the end of the year. Article content Article content Although he's been limited to five games, returner Mario Alford is still the front-runner for this award in the first half in what's been a resurgent season for the veteran. Along with a game-winning, 99-yard kickoff return, Alford has been a special teams spark when he's been in the lineup. Article content If he returns early in the second half of the season, he will get plenty of votes at the end of the year. But if he misses more time, we may have to look elsewhere and it's about time long snapper Jorgen Hus gets some recognition. Article content The longest-serving member of the Roughriders has done everything that has been asked of him and more as he continues to be among the league's most reliable players at his position.
