Saskatchewan Roughriders’ quarterback Trevor Harris has been named the CFL’s top performer for Week 7, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF).

The 39-year-old native of Waldo, Ohio completed 76.7 percent of his passes for 395 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in Saskatchewan’s 33-27 win over the B.C.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ defensive back Destin Talbert was the highest-graded defensive player of the week, earning a score of 92.6. The 25-year-old product of North Dakota State played 55 defensive snaps in his team’s 30-15 win over the Ottawa Redblacks, recording six defensive tackles, two interceptions, and two pass knockdowns.

The Montreal Alouettes had the highest-graded offensive line of the week with a group score of 78.8. The highest-graded individual was left guard Pier-Olivier Lestage, who earned an individual grade of 83.9.

The CFL partnered with PFF for the first time ahead of the 2023 season. The company uses game footage to review every player on the field and grades their individual performances on a scale from zero to 100.

The league unveils the top-graded players from PFF each week. Offensive and defensive players must play a minimum of 25 snaps to be eligible and special teams players must play at least 10. Ties are broken by the number of snaps played.
