Following the Toronto Argonauts' shocking come-from-behind 27-24 victory over the Calgary Stampeders, Argos wide receiver DeVier Posey was named the Grey Cup Most Valuable Player.

The biggest moment of the game for Posey came at the beginning of the second quarter. Quarterback Ricky Ray connected on what became a 100-yard touchdown to Posey, the longest passing play in Grey Cup history.

That wasn't his lone contribution to the effort, though. Posey finished the night with seven catches and 175 yards. Ray threw for 297 total yards, with Posey being his preferred target in the electric victory.

In only his second season with the Argos - and first full campaign - Posey caught 52 passes for 744 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 regular-season games. And it seems he saved his best for last.
