"The Rocket remains the only player the CFL's outbid the NFL for out of college in modern times, and he played a key role on that star-studded 1991 Argonauts team. On the day of the 79th Grey Cup in particular, he proved to be worth every penny the ownership group of Bruce McNall, Wayne Gretzky and John Candy spent on him, helping to seal the deal with this fourth-quarter 87-yard kickoff return that forestalled a Calgary comeback and extended the Argonauts' lead to 29-21. (They'd go on to win 36-21 after Matt Dunigan hit Paul Masiotti for another touchdown.) This one's somewhat unusual, as Ismail fields it on a bounce, but he gets up to full speed shortly thereafter. What's really impressive is the way he blows through a pack of players at full speed, then jukes to the right (0:08) to avoid another tackle while barely slowing down. Not many people can make a cut going that fast, but The Rocket could, and that helps to demonstrate why the Argos paid so much for him." - Andrew Bucholtz
