Mital is coming off his best season as a pro after 102 receptions for 886 yards and two touchdowns. His 102 catches made him the first Canadian Argonaut player to reach the 100-catch milestone, and Mital became the fifth Boatmen player, regardless of nationality, to reach the mark. The Quebec native tied for the league lead in receptions in 2025, the first time an Argonaut has done so since Chad Owens in 2013.
Mital joined the Argos in 2024 after being selected fifth overall in that year’s CFL Canadian Draft and helped the team win a Grey Cup in his first year, eventually scoring his first CFL touchdown in the big game.
The former Laval Rouge et Or (2020-2023) won the Hec Creighton Award, the Vanier Cup, and the Vanier Cup MVP in 2022. The receiver was First-Team All-Canadian in 2022, Second-Team in 2021, and a conference All-Star in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
