EDMONTON – Whether three, two or one on the depth-chart pecking order, the kid from Katy never, ever lacked for chutzpah.

“I told Dave (Dickenson) as a cocky little kid coming,” Bo Levi Mitchell reminisced Thursday night, basking in the glow of more individual hardware, “when I was facing Brad (Sinopoli) for that third spot, I asked him who his starter was, he told me and I told him: ‘I’m gonna take his spot.’

“Once I did, I held Dave after a meeting one time and I know it was a little premature but told him I wanted to be the best to ever play this game.

“I told him I had that ability, I want him to help bring it out of me, give me all the knowledge he had because I know how great a player he was.

“Not only in the Big Sky, where I played, but in the CFL.”

On Thursday, with wife Madison and family in the CFL Awards audience at Winspear Center, the Stampeders’ QB became only the second man in franchise history as a multiple Most Outstanding Player recipient, joining the legendary Doug Flutie (’92 through ’94).

In the doing, at 28, he also became the second youngest in league history to hit for the double. Only the legendary Jackie (Ol’ Spaghetti Legs) Parker accomplished it with fewer years on the odometer.

“What makes it sweeter is the guys I have in the locker-room,’’ said Mitchell of his teammates, who will battle the Ottawa Redblacks in the 106^th Grey Cup on Sunday. “We’re such a tight-knit group.

“What everybody has said about the receivers this year … all we talk about is the plague of injuries, not the body of work those guys put together.

“It’s devastating but I want to raise those guys up and tell them they’re the best receiving corps in the league.

And this,” he paused to glance at his second MOP bauble, “goes to them.”

Per his instruction, his teammates were back in the team hotel, relaxing with only one more practice day and a walk-through before Sunday’s date with destiny.

The Grey Cup, of course, represents the main course of this visit; Thursday’s acknowledgement but a savoury hors d’oeuvre.

“I believe that winning a Grey Cup is gonna be … not revenge or redemption for the last couple years but it’s just gonna build on the legacy this organization has put together over decades of work,” Mitchell emphasized.

“What John and Dave have put together for us has been amazing this year.

“I want to play in this league for a long time. I love this league. I love the fans.

“To Canada, man, I thank you, I love you and I am forever, forever, grateful to you.

“My daughter’s Canadian. I have another kid on the way who will also be Canadian.

“The CFL’s been absolutely amazing to me.”

And he has, clearly, been absolutely amazing in it.

On Thursday, Mitchell only added to a legacy that began in 2012 when he threw just 21 passes.

During his five years as a starter, no quarterback has won more starts. It ranks as his calling card.

Sunday, be sure, would rank among the sweetest.

“If the worst thing you can say about me is that I win games,”  he said, “I’ll take that every single day.”
