Calvillo steps down

Long-time Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo has officially retired.

He announced his retirement today at a news conference in Montreal. The 41-year old played 20 seasons in the CFL, the last 16 with the Alouettes.

Calvillo is professional football’s all-time leader in passing yards and touchdown passes. He won three Grey Cups and played in eight championship games over his career.

He appeared in just seven games last season before sustaining a season-ending concussion.
