Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Andrew Harris became the all-time leader in yards from scrimmage among Canadian players in CFL history Thursday night.
Harris entered Week 10 with 13,304 career scrimmage yards, 65 behind former Montreal Alouettes great Ben Cahoon for the all-time lead. He eclipsed Cahoon's mark while facing his former team, the BC Lions.
The 32-year-old, who broke into the CFL in 2010, was born in Winnipeg. Harris is the only player in league history to run for 4,000 career yards or more with multiple teams.
