Led Winnepeg to a 2-0 season start as they beat Ottawa for the second week in a row.

Career Highlights:
3X Grey Cup Champion (2012, 2019, 2021)
CFL TD Leader (2021)
CFL Most Outstanding Player (2021)
Grey Cup MVP (2021)

Earlier this year he signed a one year extension with Winnipeg for $550,000 which makes him the highest paid player in the CFL.

When he's done playing professionally, seems to me he'd be an excellent addition to our staff if he's inclined to pursue a coaching career. An Ohio guy who was a winner as a Bearcat and in the CFL. His Steubenville roots might provide some advantage in recruiting central and eastern OH too.

He is 33 years old. Would be a good candidate for QB coach if and when. Likely gets into CFL HOF.

Zack on ESPN2 again tonight

Led WBB to win last night. Now 3-0. Beat last year's Grey Cup opponent easily.

Zack starred again last night in leading WBB to a 5-0 start

I see Zack is getting paid $550k this year. This pales in comparison to the NFL but is still a heck of a lot better than being in the working world like the rest of us schmucks. Anyone know how much he has made in career earnings in the CFL.

He was making $430K prior to this current deal. He is in his 11th year in the league. Conservatively, if you apportion $250K per year he is in the ballpark of $2.75M thus far, not to mention any money he has made on endorsements, autographs, merchandise sales, etc. Even though he is probably in the twilight of his career in Canada, he is still a young guy and has a chance to make more money doing something else whether it is in coaching or in business ventures.

Zac has always struck me as a guy who could make it on TV as well, even back to his freshman year of college. I could easily seem him parlaying the career into a color gig or something up at TSN after he retires if he wants.
