Always loved him as a player. Age is a concern, but we should be able to squeeze at least one more year out of him as long as he doesn't get fat and lazy like Nik Lewis did in his embarrassing final year.

Nik Lewis hauled in 73 catches for 650 yds in 14 games and was amazing for Montreal in 2017 to become the CFL all time reception leader. 5 receptions per game average is far from embarrassing with an 8 yd average that helped convert many second downs.
Not fast and more rumbling than running with his trademark high hurdle move that made him a fan favorite it's hard to see how he doesn't make the Hall of Fame.

OMG...he was not amazing in 2017. 8 yards a reception in the CFL is embarrassing for a SB. Most running backs have at least that as their average. He really overstayed his welcome in the league. I watched him closely. He would walk 3 yards down field, turn around and if nobody covered him, he would get the ball. If you can't run down field as a receiver, you shouldn't be on the field. There is more to being a receiver than number of catches. The fact that he couldn't clear out routes for other receivers made him a huge detriment to their offence.
I don't want to take away from the majority of his career, but the way I see it, a pro athlete that isn't willing to put in the work to stay in shape should never get on the field. He shouldn't have made a roster his last 2 years in the league.
It's us vs the rest of the country
