If you look back a few blogs, you’ll see one I wrote about Anthony Calvillo, the quarterback for the Montreal Allouettes of the Canadian Football League. Calvillo broke pro football’s all time record for passing yards over the weekend.
Calvillo, who grew up in California and played junior college ball before moving on to Utah State and then the CFL, surpassed the mark held by Damon Allen over the weekend. Allen is another American who spent his professional football career in Canada and thrived.
Calvillo’s career record is now 72,381 yards, but don’t bother to memorize that figure. He’ll add to it with his next completion. The record-breaker was a 50-yard bomb to Jamel Richardson, Calvillo’s favorite target in recent seasons.
And Calvillo is not slowing down at age 39. His touchdown-to-interception ratio at this point in the season is 28-4. Remarkable.
Thanks for reading.
