The Canadian Football League announced Tuesday that Hamilton Tiger-Cats defensive back/kick returner Frankie Williams has been named the CFL’s Top Performer for Week 4.
Williams, 28, registered one defensive tackle, one interception that he returned for 39 yards, one pass knock down, five punt returns for 100 yards and three kickoff returns for 84 yards in Hamilton’s 27-10 road win over the Montreal Alouettes on Friday night. The 5-9, 190-pound native of Tampa, Florida made three key plays that led to 17 points for the Tiger-Cats, including returning the opening kickoff 49 yards to set up Hamilton’s touchdown just 1:42 into the game. Williams also had a 67-yard punt return that led to a field goal in the first quarter, and an interception in the fourth quarter that led to another Hamilton touchdown.
BC’s Jordan Williams and Winnipeg’s Marc Liegghio, second and third in voting respectively, join Williams (1st) as this week’s CFL Top Performers. The three players were chosen by a panel of judges who independently send their selections to the CFL head office. The panel includes former Canadian Football League players Matt Dunigan and Duane Forde of TSN and Pierre Vercheval of RDS.
