\nA 2011 Grey Cup champion, four-time CFL All-Star and six-time West Division All-Star, Elimimian made history in 2014 by becoming the first on defence to win CFL Most Outstanding Player. It was during that season that Elimimian set a new single-season CFL record of 143 defensive tackles, a record he would break once again in 2017 with 144 defensive stops.
\n
\nHe also won CFL Most Outstanding Defensive Player in 2014 and 2016 and was once again the Lions\u2019 nominee for Most Outstanding Player in 2017.
\n
\nThe club\u2019s all-time leader with 745 defensive tackles, Elimimian appeared in 125 games, including playoffs, in his nine seasons with the Lions.
