It probably should have been expected after their disappointing season, but the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have only two CFL all-stars this year.
The Bombers’ entire offence was shut out, with returner Trey Vaval and defensive back Evan Holm both getting named to the All-CFL Team.

Vaval was named an all-star in his first year in the league. The West Division’s most outstanding rookie and most outstanding special teamer led the CFL in punt return yards and also led the league with four kick return touchdowns as a rookie.
Holm is also a first-time CFL all-star. He led the Blue and Gold with four interceptions in getting named the club’s most outstanding defensive player.
Only the Toronto Argonauts, Ottawa RedBlacks, and Edmonton Elks had fewer all-stars.
Former Bombers Jermarcus Hardrick (Saskatchewan), Kenny Lawler (Hamilton) and Lirim Hajrullahu (Toronto) were also chosen for the All-CFL Team.
