Nik Lewis Year by Year

2010: Calgary Stampeders

In his seventh campaign, Lewis established a new career high with 90 receptions despite being forced to miss one game because of injury. His 1,262 receiving yards led the team and he earned West Division all-star honours for the third time in his career and his first CFL all-star nod. He passed three players to move into third place on the Stamps’ all-time receiving list with 543 catches. He surpassed the 8,000-yard mark in career receiving yards on Nov. 5 in Winnipeg, joining Allen Pitts and Tom Forzani as the only Calgary players to accomplish the feat. Lewis was second on the team with nine touchdown receptions and he caught at least one pass in all 17 games he played, extending his franchise record for consecutive contests with a reception to 122. He also extended his franchise mark with his seventh consecutive 1,000-yard season. His three 100-yard games during the season raised his career total to 22, tying Travis Moore for second place in Stampeders history. He joined Pitts as the only Calgary receivers to make 50 receptions in seven straight seasons. Lewis recorded a pair of two-touchdown games — on Aug. 15 against Edmonton and on Oct. 22 against BC. On July 31 against Winnipeg, Lewis tied a career high with 10 receptions and amassed a season-best 160 yards. Lewis added six catches for 55 yards in the West final.

2009: Calgary Stampeders

In his sixth season, Lewis extended a number of Stampeders marks he already holds and made headway on a number of other club records. With 70 catches for 1,013 yards and one touchdown, Lewis recorded his sixth consecutive 1,000-yard receiving campaign to extend his club record. In addition, he stretched his consecutive games with a catch streak past the century mark to 105 games. Lewis rose from seventh to sixth in receptions with 453 and from seventh to fourth in receiving yards with 6,761. Lewis is one of four current CFL players to record 50 or more receptions in six consecutive seasons. He was named CFL Offensive Player of the Week for his Week 9 effort against Toronto with a five-reception, 118-yard game. His devastating block of Argos linebacker Zeke Moreno in that game made numerous highlight reels. Lewis had two other 100-yard games during the regular season — Aug. 13 at Edmonton (seven catches for 132 yards) and Oct. 17 against Saskatchewan (eight catches, 112 yards). Lewis also put together a big game in the West semifinal on Nov. 15 against Edmonton as he made seven receptions for 100 yards. On Oct. 3 against Hamilton, Lewis played in his 100th game as a Stampeder and in the CFL.

2008: Calgary Stampeders

Lewis started every game including the West Final and Grey Cup. For the fifth consecutive season, Lewis hauled in 50-plus passes, making him one of only four active players to accomplish the feat. His 87 receptions also represented a career high. He tied his career best for longest reception with an 85-yard grab on Oct. 10. With 10 majors, Lewis hit the double-digit mark for touchdown grabs in a season for the first time. Lewis became the first Stamps receiver since Travis Moore in 2002 to notch back-to-back multi-touchdown reception games. He had a career-high 10 receptions in a regular-season game on two occasions in 2008 — against Toronto Sept. 20 and against Winnipeg Oct. 18. Lewis became the first Stamp to post five consecutive 1,000 yard receiving seasons. In addition, Lewis has caught at least one pass in 88 consecutive games in which he has appeared, breaking Allen Pitts’ mark of 85 on Oct. 18 against Winnipeg.
