The Bombers led the CFL in rushing (101.3 yards per game) and were second in offensive points (26.7 per game).
The six-foot-three, 297-pound McEwen, 24, is completing his second season with Toronto, which led the CFL in pass attempts (713) and completions (502) while finishing second in passing yards and net offence.
