You can count John Hufnagel among the people who were impressed with the way Kamar Jorden handled himself after the Grey Cup disaster.

It was an enormously costly mistake, to be sure, but Jorden owned it.

In what must have been an incredibly painful moment for the receiver — both personally and professionally — Jorden stood in front of the media and took responsibility for his mistake, even acknowledging that teammate Marquay McDaniel was right for blaming his carelessness for the loss.

“Kamar probably couldn’t have handled it any better,” Hufnagel said Wednesday in Banff, where CFL general managers were having their annual meetings. “It was disappointing, but he has to get over it. His teammates have gotten over it, and now he has to get over it.”
