CFL’s Eastern Conference nominee for the Most Outstanding Canadian award. Whyte is in his first year with Montreal, after spending the previous few seasons with his hometown B.C. Lions, where he split time with veteran kicker Paul McCallum, whom the team elected to keep instead of Whyte. Whyte was dealt to Montreal in May for a future first-round draft pick.
The move paid off for the Alouettes, as Whyte finished the regular season hitting 45-of-52 field goal attempts, and was tied for second in the league with 197 points. At one point in the season, he also connected on a club-record 24 straight field goals. Whyte goes up against Western nominee, Edmonton Eskimos running back Jerome Messam, for the top

Meanwhile, Whyte’s former mentor in B.C., McCallum – himself a former Surrey Ram – is nominated for the CFL’s Special Teams Player of the Year award. The 41-year-old McCallum, a Surrey resident, set a CFL record this year, connecting on 29 consecutive field goals.
Questions about Morton's Neuroma and can eventually lead to permanent nerve damage. Symptoms of Morton’s Neuroma are a tingling, a burning or numbness, or a feeling like something is inside the ball of your foot. Most often, a Morton’s Neuroma develops gradually and, at first, can occur occasionally when wearing narrow shoes or during certain activities. Over time, the symptoms can worsen and become more intense as the Neuroma becomes larger. Over time, changes in the nerve can become permanent. The most common cause of Morton’s Neuroma is wearing shoes that have an excessively tapered toe box, or high heeled shoes that overload pressure onto the forefoot. Most at risk are people with bunions, hammer toes, flat feet and flexible feet, as well as women after pregnancy. “People diagnosed with Morton’s Neuroma are typically treated with accommodative footwear to reduce compression and pressure
