Denver Broncos wide receiver Diontae Spencer has been nominated for the Canadian Football League’s All-Decade Team as a kick returner. Fans can vote for Spencer on the CFL’s website.
Spencer (5-8, 163 pounds) signed with the Toronto Argonauts in 2014 after short offseason stints with the St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears. He then spent four seasons in Canada, splitting time with the Argonauts and Ottawa Redblacks.
Spencer earned East All-Star nods in 2017 and 2018 and was named a CFL All-Star in 2018. He set the CFL single-game record for all-purpose yards (496) in 2017 against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Last summer, Spencer went to training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers but failed to make their 53-man roster. He was then claimed off waivers by the Broncos and was quickly named Denver’s starting returner.
Spencer earned Pro Bowl alternate honors after his first season with the Broncos. He totaled 644 return yards in 2019, averaging 29.1 yards per return on kickoffs.
