Argos returner Grant says ‘nothing personal’ about playing his old team in Grey Cup
VANCOUVER — With a smile, and a shake of his head, Janarion Grant says there’s nothing personal for him about Sunday’s Grey Cup game even though the CFL’s top punt returner will be facing his old team when the Toronto Argonauts play the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at BC Place Stadium.
No thoughts of revenge, maybe vindication?
“It’s not personal,” Grant said during Wednesday’s media day. “It’s another Grey Cup game. I’m blessed to be part of it. I’m just ready to go to work.”
Grant spent four years with Winnipeg, winning Grey Cups in 2019 and 2021. In 41 regular-season games the slippery 30-year-old from Fort Trilby, Fla., scored eight touchdowns on kick returns, making him the franchise’s all-time leader.
