Elfrid Payton was one of the most feared pass rushers in the history of the CFL, rining up 154 quarterback sacks in his 14 year career from 1991 to 2004.  Payton started his CFL career with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 1991, his first of three stints with the club.  Payton played three seasons for the Bombers (1991-93) with 1993 being his break-out season as he recorded 22 quarterback sacks to win East and CFL All-Stars as well as being the Most Outstanding Defensive Player in the East.  Payton became a free agent after 1993 and signed with the expansion Shreveport PIrates for 1994.  The Pirates released Payton after five games, however, and he finished the 1994 season with Baltimore. Payton returned to form with Baltimore in 1995, piling up 18 sacks as Baltimore won the Grey Cup that year and Payton was named a South All-Star.  With the folding of the U.S. based teams, Payton came North when Baltimore relocated to Montreal and played four seasons for the reborn Alouettes (1996-99).  In those four years, Payton won three East All-Star selections (1997, 1998 and 1999) and two CFL All-Stars (1997 and 1998).  Montreal released Payton prior to the start of the 2000 seasone and he signed with Winnipeg for the second time, but staying there just one season as the Bombers released him after a 2000 season that produced only six sacks.  Toronto signed Payton for 2001 and he rebounded with 15 sacks and won his sixth division All-Star.  Once again, however, Payton was released and his next stop was Edmonton in 2002.  That was a 16 sack season to win Payton his seventh division All-Star, fourth CFL All-Star and the Outstanding Defensive Player award in the CFL.   Payton played only two games in 2003 with Edmonton, and then played one final season with Winnipeg on his third stint with the Bombers in 2004.  With a resume like that, Elfrid Payton should be heading for the Canadian Football Hall of Fame one he is eligible.
