Grey Cup MVPs Mostly American Made

Since 1991, there have been 31 Grey Cup MVP awards granted, and as illustrated in the accompanying chart, a majority hail from the United States.

Many Grey Cup MVPs are quarterbacks from the victorious teams, particularly since a significant number of the league's quarterbacks originate from the U.S. This is evident in the statistics; California players have the advantage with eight MVP nominations, surpassing Florida and Maryland, which each have three.

The three MVPs from Maryland were all awarded to the iconic quarterback Doug Flutie, who achieved this honor in 1992, 1996, and 1997. The only Canadian recipient of this award was Andrew Harris from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2019, who led his team to victory while rushing for 134 yards and scoring two touchdowns.

Additionally, the CFL presents a Most Outstanding Canadian award following each Grey Cup game, with Ontario taking the lead by securing 11 MOC awards, followed by British Columbia with six.

As the 2022 playoffs approach, numerous contenders are poised to emerge onOntario betting apps and win the award.

Given the frequency with which quarterbacks secure this award, last year’s victor, Zach Collaros from the top-ranked Winnipeg Blue Bombers, stands as a leading candidate to win again, which would mark Ohio’s second consecutive MVP win.BetMGM Sportsbook Ontario At present, Winnipeg is favored at +110 to clinch this year’s Grey Cup.

If Canadian QB Nathan Rourke can heal from his foot injury in time for the playoffs, he has a strong possibility of claiming the award, as his BC Lions boasted an impressive 8-1 record with him during earlier matchups this season.

Ultimately, it's widely expected that California will look to enhance their notable history, as they have starting quarterbacks on several likely playoff teams. Will a quarterback from California once again take home the Grey Cup MVP title, or will another state or province rise to the occasion?

The answer to that inquiry will be revealed on November 20 in Regina, Saskatchewan, during the 109th Grey Cup.
