Kicker Justin Medlock captured the CFL's outstanding special-teams player award Thursday night.
Medlock was honoured at the league's awards banquet.
Voting was conducted by the Football Reporters of Canada and nine CFL head coaches.
Receiver/kick-returner Brandon Banks of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, last year's award winner, was the other finalist.
Medlock hit a CFL-record 60 field goals this season, his first with the Blue Bombers. The 33-year-old Californian was also the league's scoring leader (227 points) and made all 40 converts he attempted.
Winnipeg also improved to 11-7 to make the playoffs this season after posting a 5-13 mark in 2015.
Banks, who served a two-game suspension this season for violating the CFL's drug policy, returned 61 punts for 588 yards (9.6-yard average) with a TD, had 55 kickoff returns for 1,245 yards (22.6-yard average) and took two of his three missed field-goal returns back for touchdowns.
