Former UND wide receiver Weston Dressler was selected as a member of the Canadian Football League's all-decade team of the past 10 years (2010-19).

The first and second teams, each featuring 29 players, were decided by fans, a selection committee and a media panel.

Dressler, a 2004 Bismarck High graduate, is now a senior community relations specialist for the Bismarck Region of Sanford.

Dressler played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers in an 11-year pro career.

In three seasons in Winnipeg, he caught 176 passes for 2,229 yards and 10 touchdowns.

In five of his eight seasons with the Roughriders, he surpassed 1,000 yards and also won a Grey Cup in 2013.

In total, Dressler has 715 catches for 10,026 yards and 61 touchdowns in 161 regular-season games.

Dressler played at UND from 2004-08. He was a four-time all-North Central Conference selection and was selected as an All-American by five different organizations after his senior season. He left Grand Forks with 19 school records.
