First time Grey Cup winner, Brett Jones had a lot to celebrate this weekend. After playing for a short time with the Calgary Stampeders, Jones got what all CFL players dream of, a chance to hoist that cup high above his head.
Brett was born July 29, 1991, right here in the city of Weyburn. At the young age of 23, Jones has already had quite an impressive career. After the 2012 CIS season, he was ranked as the eighth best player in the CFL Amateur Scouting Bureau final rankings for players eligible in the 2013 CFL draft and fifth by players in the Canadian Inter-university Sport. Jones signed on with Calgary on May 29, 2013 - a decision which has paid off already.
Jones, an offensive lineman, joined the team in celebrating the 20-16 win over the Hamilton Tiger Cats at the November 30 game. To top off the season, Jones was awarded the CFL Offensive Lineman of the Year.
This is the second year in a row that a former Weyburn athlete has been on the winning team in the Grey Cup as well as being awarded Offensive Lineman of the Year. Brendon LaBatte accomplished the same feat last year as part of the Saskatchewan Roughriders Grey Cup win.
