History was made in Ottawa on Wednesday night, as Montreal Alouettes receiver Nik Lewis became just the fourth player in CFL history to record 1,000 career receptions.
The landmark catch came early in the second half against the Ottawa RedBlacks on a 9-yard connection with quarterback Darian Durant.
| Name | Career receptions | Years played |
|---|---|---|
| Geroy Simon | 1029 | 1999-2013 |
| Ben Cahoon | 1017 | 1998-2010 |
| Terry Vaughn | 1006 | 1995-2006 |
| Nik Lewis | 1000 | 2004-Present |
| Darren Flutie | 972 | 1991-2002 |
Lewis is now just 30 catches away from the top spot in the CFL record books, currently occupied by legendary BC Lions wideout Geroy Simon.
