Current Rider stars Brendon LaBatte and Ed Gainey also made the list, while CFL on TSN broadcaster Glen Suitor was honoured by his colleagues with a spot in the secondary.
Noticeably absent from the team are star Canadian receivers like Jeff Fairholm, Andy Fantuz, and Chris Getzlaf. Hugh “Gluey” Campbell, better known as the dynastic coach of the Eskimos, makes the team in their stead.
