Blue Bombers' Jarell Broxton awarded title as CFL's most outstanding offensive lineman

Jarell Broxton of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers was named the CFL's top offensive lineman Wednesday.

Broxton becomes the seventh Blue Bomber to win the award.

Broxton started 17 regular-season games for a Winnipeg offensive line that paved the way for CFL rushing leader Brady Oliveira (1,493 yards).

He was ranked second among league offensive tackles with a Pro Football Focus (PFF) grade of 75.2 (minimum of 100 snaps).

Teammate Stanley Bryant — the most decorated offensive lineman in CFL history as a four-time winner (2017, 2018, 2021, 2022) — broke the news of Broxton's accomplishment during a team meeting.

Broxton finished atop the voting conducted by the Football Reporters of Canada with 95 points. Montreal's Nick Callender (70) and Pier-Olivier Lestage (45) were second and third, respectively.

The six-foot-five, 331-pound Broxton is completing his first campaign with Winnipeg. He signed with the Blue Bombers as a free agent following five seasons with the B.C. Lions.

Broxton, 33, was regarded as the top offensive lineman in the CFL's 2026 free-agent class and signed a two-year deal with Winnipeg.

In 2025, he was part of a B.C. offensive front unit that allowed the fewest sacks and anchored an offence that averaged a CFL-record 8.04 yards per play.

Broxton earned All-CFL and West Division All-CFL honours after posting a league-best PFF grade of 81.2 in pass protection. Previously, he was the Lions' nominee for top lineman three straight years (2023-25).
