DeVier Posey has a knack for making big plays and he hopes that he can make a difference for the Alouettes this season.

Posey already has a place in the CFL record book. He was the most valuable player in the 2017 Grey Cup game when he caught seven passes for 175 yards to help the Toronto Argonauts to a 27-24 upset win over the Calgary Stampeders. One of those plays was a 100-yard touchdown reception, the longest passing play in Grey Cup history.

Then there was the game last season, when he lined up with the B.C. Lions. He caught three touchdown passes in one quarter to lead the Lions to a victory over the Edmonton Eskimos in the game that clinched a playoff spot for the Lions.

“I have a switch, a competitive switch,” Posey said when asked about his ability to make big plays at the right time. “I always challenge myself to be my best self when the lights are the brightest. In my sophomore year (at Ohio State) playing in the Rose Bowl (in 2010), that was my best game of the year. I relish the opportunity to play in big games and make big plays and I play football for those moments.”
