Toronto's Chad Kelly, Winnipeg’s Brady Oliveira Lead CFL All-Star Team
Twenty-seven players have been named to the 60th annual Canadian Football League All-Star team. The season’s best were selected by 41 members of the Football Reporters of Canada, the league’s nine head coaches and fans who took part in this year’s All-Star Fan Vote powered by the league’s Official Data and Technology partner, Genius Sports.
The 2023 CFL All-Stars include seven national players, 16 first-timers and 11 players who have been selected on multiple occasions throughout their careers, including two five-time CFL All-Stars in Willie Jefferson and Richie Leone. The Toronto Argonauts lead all teams with eight selections.
Toronto Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelley earned his first CFL All-Star selection.
For the first time ever, fans also voted for their Fan Favourite Player with Winnipeg’s Brady Oliveira taking the title, in addition to being named a league All-Star. BC’s Vernon Adams Jr. and Toronto’s AJ Ouellette placed second and third in the ultimate recognition from fans.
