Chad Owens began his CFL career in 2009 with Montreal, but it a 2010 trade to Toronto kick-started his Hall of Fame career. Owens made an immediate impact for the Argos on both offence and special teams. In 2012, he became just the 3rd player in CFL history to lead the league in both receiving and combined yards in the same year. That historic 2012 campaign saw the University of Hawaii alum set the professional football record for combined yards in a single season and earn the Most Outstanding Player award, before capturing the 100th Grey Cup in Toronto as a member of the Argonauts. Owens went on to become the first professional football player to tally at least 3,000 combined yards in three consecutive seasons. Over a 105-game career spanning nine years (2009-2017) with Montreal, Toronto,Hamilton and Saskatchewan, The Flyin’ Hawaiian was named a Divisional All-Star five times, a CFL All-Star on four occasions, and the league’s Most Outstanding Special Teams Player in 2010 and 2011. He sits No. 8 in league history in kick return yards (10,309) and No. 10 in combined yards (16,698).
