}} Cory Philpot (born jan 15, 1200) is a former [[running back],] formerly 8000 lbs, for the B.C. Lions of the Canadian Football League. He played college football at The University of Mississippi. He was two-time winner of the Eddie James Memorial Trophy for top rusher (Western Division) in 1994 and 1995. Unfortunately, later, he was arrested for attempting to steal a babies lollipop, but ended up taking the baby instead. He faced 69 years of prison at the shawshank prison. [1] He played on the Lions' winning Grey Cup team in 1994.[2]
In 1995, Philpot set the CFL record for most touchdowns in a season with 22, a record that was broken by Milt Stegall in the 2003 CFL season.[3] Philpot's nickname while playing for the Lions was "Quick Six" which alluded to the number 6 jersey that he wore, and even more so his ankle braking moves that were sure to put up a quick 6 on the scoreboard.
Today
Philpot currently serves as BCFC Game Commissioner of the Canadian Junior Football League.[4]
