At 32 years of age, Nic Demski still has it.

Where are the big name receivers that the Bomber have? To find the next Bomber in receiving yards you have to go all the way to the 17th spot to find Wheatfall, and then to the 34th spot to find Oliveira!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Demski, would end the 2025 season with the 11th most receiving yards, and the 8th most receiving touchdowns. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Demski - CFL News Hub\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Demski-1024x510.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46577\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>About Demski, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebombers.com\/2025\/12\/19\/demski-we-have-a-lot-of-good-football-left-in-winnipeg-and-we-know-it\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawOysX9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEecgiZbj457vOHk6lSRqFOtSA-21dJXmqk154mMck_019KDj33YFrMYAuYWmM_aem_ZwPMszetOgIFwgge_GW4Qg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Ed Tait reports<\/a>, \u201c\u201cEarly on in my career, I was always athletic enough and being able to be a playmaker and all that good stuff, but I never was a holistic pro,\u201d he said Friday in a conference call with local media. \u201cBeing in the film room, being in the weight room, taking care of my body, getting extra treatment, all that good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, until I came to Winnipeg and kind of saw how everyone else was doing it in front of me, to see them get into their routines and see how they handled their bodies and kind of expanded their football IQ, they definitely led the way for me for that.

I\u2019m really excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Demski\u2019s 2025 season saw him finish with 67 receptions for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 regular-season games, earning him a spot on the CFL West Division All-Star Team for a fifth straight year. In the process, he moved into seventh place on the club\u2019s all-time receiving yardage list and now sits at 5,560 as a Blue Bomber \u2013 trailing only Milt Stegall (15,153), James Murphy (9,036), Joe Poplawski (8,341), Terrence Edwards (7,200), Rick House (6,266) and Perry Tuttle (5.817). And of that total as a Blue Bomber, 3,037 yards have come over the last three years, along with 19 touchdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Offensive Woes <br \/>But still troubling for the Bombers is that you have to go all the way to the 30th spot to find their next leading receiver, Wheatfall (which means the Bombers defence got worse since early September when Wheatfall was in 17th spot). Sure Wheatfall played 16 games, not 18\u2026but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsn.ca\/cfl\/statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">many of the players<\/a> ahead of Wheatfall played as many or less games than he did.
