Alouettes’ receiver Tyson Philpot on historic pace

Tyson Philpot is on a historic clip. At the midway point of the 2026 regular season, the Montreal Alouettes receiver leads the CFL in targets (98), receptions (74) and yards (1,154). Philpot, 26, of Delta, B.C., is on pace to become the most prolific receiver ever in a single season.Philpot is projected to register 148 catches for 2,308 yards. That would not only shatter the records for most catches (116 by Ottawa’s Brad Sinopoli) and receiving yards (1,662 by Calgary’s Terry Evanshen) in a season by a Canadian but surpass Allen Pitts’s league mark for yards (2,036 with Stampeders in 1994).Derrell (Mookie) Mitchell holds the CFL record for most catches in a season with 160, recorded with Toronto in 1998.Philpot made CFL history last month when he became the fastest Canadian to reach 1,000
