Ambles set career highs last year with the Argos, pulling in 72 passes for 737 yards and five touchdowns. He started in both playoff games for Toronto last November and had three catches for 47 yards in the Grey Cup win over the Blue Bombers on November 20th. Ambles was also part of the Stampeders Grey Cup championship team in 2018. Over his 50 regular season games, Ambles has recorded 204 receptions for 2,329 yards and 12 touchdowns.
