Long career, great player. By all accounts, helped younger players along. All the best.

Well, his name will be in the record books for a long time for consecutive games played where he caught a pass. I think the streak started while his last OC was throwing him the ball.

Enjoy your retirement Manny.

In BC I loved the way he tossed the DBs aside and thundered down the sidelines for the TD. We loved the Manny Show.

I’ve been watching the CFL since 1956 and Manny is in my top 5 receivers over that time. He is also a true gentleman that represents the CFL to the highest standards. I hope the mentoring of young athletes continues as I was more than impressed with your work out in the community, last year. Best of luck in whatever endeavors you pursue

Yup, great player, and great ambassador for the league.
Suspect he’ll make a great receivers coach somewhere.

Never know Chris Morris may find a spot for him over at the U of A.

I would hope there’s a place in the league for him. Maybe as a guest coach to start.
Jones has always been a big Manny fan. :thinking:
