In 2024, the six-foot-one, 225-pound McManis made 12 appearances during the regular season. In addition to 57 tackles, he recorded three special-teams tackles, one sack, two fumble recoveries, and an interception that was returned for a touchdown.

 In Toronto's East Division semifinal victory over Ottawa, McManis recorded a team playoff record-tying 10 tackles. He finished the season with six tackles and an interception in the Argos' 41-24 Grey Cup victory over Winnipeg.

Before the 2022 season, McManis signed a contract with Toronto. In 42 regular-season games, he has recorded 224 tackles, 11 special-teams tackles, eight sacks, three fumble recoveries, one forced fumble, and three touchdowns.


In 2022 and 2024, he also assisted Toronto in winning two Grey Cups. McManis played in the NFL for New Orleans (2020–21) and Miami (2021) before starting his CFL career with the Calgary Stampeders (2017–19).
