2017 CFL DIVISIONAL ALL-STARS ANNOUNCED
13 National players named Division All-Stars
TORONTO (November 8, 2017) — The Canadian Football League (CFL) announced the 2017 East and West Division All-Stars today. The Toronto Argonauts lead the way with 10 all-stars and the Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers lead the West Division with seven each.
The Division All-Stars were selected by members of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC) and CFL head coaches.
During the offseason, the Football Operations Committee, comprised of team General Managers, approved alterations to the All-Star positons. In years past there were two running backs and four receivers; that has been changed to one running back and five receivers. Defensively there used to be three linebackers, and now there are two linebackers and a cover linebacker.
The East Division All-Stars were selected by the voting members of the FRC from the East Division markets, the National Chapter and the East Division head coaches.
The West Division All-Stars were selected by the voting members of the FRC from the West Division markets, the National Chapter and the West Division head coaches.
Ballots for the final round of CFL All-Stars voting will go out on Thursday. The CFL All-Stars will be announced in early December.
Below is the complete list of the 2017 East and West Division All-Stars.
