Linebacker Reggie Hunt of the Saskatchewan Roughriders earned the defensive award after recording 10 tackles, including one for a loss of five yards, in a 24-13 win over the Toronto Argonauts.
Hunt's teammate Maurice Lloyd and Edmonton Eskimos lineman Ron Warner were the defensive runners-up.
B.C. Lions kick returner Ian Smart is the special teams player of the week after he returned six kickoffs for 138 yards and six punt returns for 46 yards in a 22-21 loss to Winnipeg.
