CFL career

Anthony started his Canadian Football League career in 1994 with the US expansion Las Vegas Posse. After the Posse folded a year later in the ill-fated CFL US expansion experiment, Calvillo was selected first overall by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the dispersal draft. While in Hamilton, Calvillo served as a backup quarterback to players such as Steve Taylor, and Matt Dunigan. In 1998, Calvillo signed as a free agent with the Montreal Alouettes where he became one of the most outstanding CFL quarterbacks in history. He led the Alouettes to the 2002 Grey Cup for the first time in 25 years where he was named the most valuable player in the game. 2003 became a stellar year for Calvillo where he broke numerous Montreal Alouette passing records completing 408 of 675 passing attempts for 5,891 yards and 37 touchdowns. In 2004, he became the fourth quarterback in CFL history to pass for more than 6,000 yards in a single season (Doug Flutie, David Archer, and Kent Austin being the other three) earning him the East Division nominee for Most Outstanding Player for the third consecutive year. “CFL” redirects here. ...
