He Wore It Well:

Tony Norman, DE, 1980-86

A big man at 6-5 with a long wingspan, Norman got after opposition quarterbacks with a vengeance during his seven years in Winnipeg. The CFL didn’t start tracking quarterback sacks until 1981 – a year after Norman arrived – but he managed to rack up 59 before leaving for the Minnesota Vikings in 1987. That total ranks second on the Bombers’ all-time list behind only Tyrone Jones, who had 98.

He was added to the Winnipeg Football Club’s Hall of Fame in 2014.

FYI:

Jamaal Westerman has been a Bomber for just two years, but is already putting his stamp all over the club’s records. His 2015 season – in which he had 17 sacks en route to being named the team’s Most Outstanding, Canadian and Defensive Player – was one of the most dominant in club history. He has 25 sacks in his two seasons, the most over a two-year stretch by a Bomber since Elfrid Payton had 28 in 1992-93… In case you missed it, we highlighted hall of fame Bill Ceretti at Number 6.

Notable:

Sherwyn Thorson was a steady fixture on the Bomber offensive line during his days from 1962-68. And it’s little wonder he could handle himself in the trenches – he wrestled at Iowa where he was an NCAA champion in 1962, and is in the Iowa Wrestling Hall of Fame and University of Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame.
