After a conversation with Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea and assurances the team wanted him back, Medlock signed a one-year contract that was announced Thursday. He made 56 of 70 field goals (80 per cent), last among eight qualifying kickers. He hit game-winning field goals against Saskatchewan and Montreal and connected on two last-minute field goals in a victory over Ottawa. In his first season with Winnipeg, the UCLA product was named the CFL’s most outstanding special teams player and all-star kicker after hitting a league-record 60 field goals. When asked what he thought of CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie’s comment about possibly starting the season a month earlier, Medlock gave it the thumb’s up.
