TORONTO — He's already established himself as one of the CFL's top punt returners but there are times when Javon Leake misses being a running back.
"Some days but I get to do it every day in practice so I just stay on my toes," he said."But running back, punt returns, it's all the same thing, just do something with the ball."He leads the CFL in punt returns with 52 for 863 yards and taken an Argos-record four back for touchdowns. He needs one more to tie the league record held jointly by Henry Williams and Chris Williams .
"It's a process, you just have to keep it going. The punt-return team does a great job of blocking and I can't stress that enough." Leake has seen spot duty in Toronto's backfield — not a surprise with Canadian Andrew Harris and rugged A.J. Ouellette heading up the Argos' ground game. He had 10 carries for 32 yards last season and has accumulated 19 yards on four attempt so far in 2023.
"We're all pretty close with one another, we motivate each other and we push each other and when you have that it's a special room. I just learn from these guys, I don't let my ego get in the way … when it's my time it will be my time."
