During his nine-year playing career with the Alouettes, which ended in 2016, the native of Gatineau caught 99 passes for 1,334 yards and scored three touchdowns in 115 games. In 2011, he caught Anthony Calvillo’s historic 395th touchdown pass, which allowed the CFL’s most prolific passer to climb into first place all-time in that category.

The former Eastern Michigan University Eagle won the Grey Cup in 2009 and 2010 with the Alouettes.
