Tre Roberson just can’t seem to get any respect from voters around the CFL.

Last year, the Calgary Stampeders boundary corner was bizarrely passed-up for the CFL’s Most Outstanding Rookie nomination last season in favour of the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ Jordan Williams-Lambert . The only real explanation for that was ‘hey, the Riders always get preferential treatment.’

Roberson opened his 2019 campaign with an astonishing performance against the Ottawa Redblacks. He finished with four defensive tackles and three (!) interceptions, two of which set the Stampeders up for scoring drives.

Apparently, though, that wasn’t enough to get named as one of the CFL’s three top performers of the week.

Instead, Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Trevor Harris and running back CJ Gable both got the weekly nod, while Winnipeg Blue Bombers RB Andrew Harris did, too.

There’s an argument for all three guys, sure, they each put up big numbers.

But if you’re looking at individual standout performances, Roberson has to be on that list.

Apparently defensive performances just don’t matter as much to the panel of judges who make these decisions.
