Calgary Stampeders quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. has been recognized with the top spot on the Canadian Football League’s list of Week 5 Players of the Week.

In last Thursday’s Stampede Bowl against the Toronto Argonauts, Adams completed 20 of 25 pass attempts for 405 yards and six touchdowns. Adams added a fourth-quarter rushing score in the 58-36 victory at McMahon Stadium.

With his performance, he became just the fifth player in league history to have a game of at least 400 passing yards, six passing touchdowns and zero interceptions. Adams’ passing-touchdown total also tied a single-game franchise record.

The back-to-back Stampede Bowl MVP also moved into 34th place on the CFL’s all-time passing yards list and now sits at 21,564 yards in his career.

The three weekly selections are made by a panel composed of representatives from the CFL’s Football Operations, Player and Game Statistics and Content departments. This marks the first time this season for a Stampeders player to receive the league honour.
