CFL universe reacts to Lewis breaking all-time receptions record
Nik Lewis certainly had a game to remember Thursday, as the veteran receiver became the CFL's new all-time leader in receptions passing former BC Lions wideout Geroy Simon.
Lewis finished the night with 1,031 career receptions, two more than Simon, and the CFL universe was quick to praise the Montreal Alouettes receiver on his accomplishment.
Congratulations @nikel18 you're a true Warrior!! https://t.co/eLPUjxJXeC
