72 382

That's the number of yards (well, 72 387 to be exact) Quarterback Anthony Calvillo of the Montreal Alouettes has amassed during his 18 years (14 with the Als) in the CFL. The number sets the all-time record in pro football in any league.

It was enough of an achievement to have Miami Dolphins legend Dan Marino and ESPN's Chris Berman to salute Calvillo. Warren Moon, who orginally played for the Edmonton Eskimos before moving onto the NFL with stints with the Houston Oilers, Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs, also made a video appearance congratulating Calvillo.

The three time Grey Cup champion Calvillo surpassed Marino, Moon, Bret Favre and CFL legend Damon Allen to move into first spot all time.

Hands down the Los Angeles native and former Utah State University player (where he led the Aggies to the Big West conference title and a Las Vegas Bowl win; setting a regular pasing record along the way) is one of Montreal's greatest athletes ever.
