Clermont has awards, now wants ring

Charles Dickens coined the phrase "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." For one brief period last November, Jason Clermont got that experience first hand.
Three nights before his biggest game as a pro, the B.C. Lions slotback was named the CFL's Most Outstanding Canadian. He had a career year, accumulating 1,220 receiving yards and seven touchdown catches as part of a high-octane Lions offence that finished atop the Western Division.
His most important catch came seven days earlier in the Western Final. Clermont make a key reception late in the fourth quarter against his hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders that set up a game-tying field goal. The Lions would ultimately win the game in overtime.
Now playing in his first Grey Cup, Clermont was a key contributor in the Lions' opening drive against the Toronto Argonauts. He made the game's first reception, then caught the opening touchdown a few plays later. The way the Lions controlled the first quarter, they seemed destined to win in a cakewalk.
