And while Adarius Bowman added to his league-leading receiving yards with game highs of six receptions for 112 yards in Monday’s 40-20 win over the Montreal Alouettes, rookie Brandon Zylstra followed close behind with personal bests of six receptions for 104 yards and his first CFL touchdown.

“Three weeks ago, when we decided to go with him after Cory (Watson) went down, we felt like he was going to give us what we needed in that position, which is a dynamic player who can take over for Cory’s role, being able to block and do all the tough things as well,” Eskimos head coach Jason Maas said of the six-foot-three, 220-pound product of Concordia College (Minnesota). “I think Brandon’s proved that’s what he is, just a good fit for us, basically, on offence.”
