The kid is pretty amazing.

Well-deserved for sure. I almost wish he wasn't getting so much attention so we could keep him around for a few more years, though

We might get a lucky bonus Mike Sellers year but not gettin hopes up

He's such a stud receiver with an eye for the end zone....runs well in heavy traffic and breaks tackles....such a smart smart player! He will go far and it was a pleasure to have such a winner on our team....even if it's only for this season!

This kid is a legend.

I don't get the sense that Schoen will be in Wpg. again next year, he's not going to cap off his career development without pursuing his goal of playing for an NFL team, even if he wins MOR and a Grey Cup this season. Best hope, he returns to the CFL in a year or two and comes straight back to the Bombers. Zylstra has been gone since 2017, has found minor success on 3 teams but has been paid well, and still hasn't come back yet.

If he helps us win a Cup....that would be cool! He helped us to a record winning season and was a huge part of our offence once Ellingson went down. Nearly two thirds of his receptions were 2nd down conversions which is an amazing stat by itself!

The instant chemistry with Zach was/is something special.

Can anyone think of 1 year super stars in Blue Bombers history?

Chris Mathews I guess but that team was still horrible.

I thought Agudosi was going to be a superstar before he got hurt. I thought Lucky Whitehead could be that guy too. I think he was only here for 1 year. Can't forget about Drew Willy, either.

Whitehead only played 10-12 games for us that year. That really is not that good at all. Willy was a strange one. That team had a crazy positive turnover margin. Unsustainable that season correct me if I am wrong?
