For the second time in his career, Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell has been voted the Canadian Football League’s Most Outstanding Player.

The award was announced on Thursday in Edmonton at the CFL’s awards gala at the Winspear Centre. Mitchell previously won the award in 2016 and it’s the 11th time a Stamps player has received the league’s top-player award. Doug Flutie, who won three straight MOP awards from 1992-94, is the only other Calgary player to receive the award on multiple occasions.

Mitchell started all 18 games for the Stamps this season and guided his team to a league-best 13-5 record and Calgary’s third consecutive first-place finish.

The 28-year-old Katy, Tex., native led the CFL with 35 touchdown passes and cracked the 5,000-yard plateau for the second time in his career. He completed 356 of 585 passes for 5,124 yards and his 35 TD throws compared to just 14 interceptions resulted in a CFL-leading touchdown-to-interception ratio of 2.5.

The Eastern Washington University alum added 108 rushing yards, his highest ground total since 2014.

Mitchell topped the CFL with 42 completions of at least 30 yards and had five 300-yard games as well as six other contests in which he threw for at least 270 yards. His season included a 491-yard performance that represented a single-game high for all CFL quarterbacks in 2018. Mitchell passed 14 players on the CFL’s all-time passing-yards list this season and now ranks 21st all-time.

His 13 wins as a starter in 2018 gives Mitchell a career record of 69-15-2 for an .814 winning percentage that is the best in CFL history.
