Calvillo Becomes All-Time Leader

Anthony Calvillo, the Montreal Allouettes quarterback has surpassed Damon Allen to become pro football's all-time leading passer. That's pro football, including any pivot that ever played in the CFL, NFL, NFL Europe, or any other pro league. That's impressive folks.

Calvillo hooked up with Jamel Richardson gave Calvillo 72,387 career yards, which broke Damon Allen’s previous mark of 72,381 as the Alouettes defeated the Toronto Argonauts 29-19.

It took Calvillo only 12 years after starting his CFL career with the expansion Las Vegas Posse during the failed CFL U.S. expansion in 1994 to become the top dog.

After the Posse folded a year later, Calvillo was selected first overall by the Hamilton Tiger Cats in a dispersal draft. Calvillo signed as a free agent with the Alouettes in 1998. He led the Alouettes to the Grey Cup in 2002 for the first time in 25 years, where he was named the games MVP. He went on to win two more Grey Cups with Montreal in 2009 and 2010. He also led the Als to the 2008 Grey Cup final in a loss to the Calgary Stampeders, although Calvillo still captured game MVP honors for the second time.
