Former B.C. Lions running back Sean Millington is headed to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame after being named Friday to its 2026 class.<\/p>\n
The first overall pick in the 1990 CFL draft rushed for 6,086 yards and scored 87 touchdowns over a 13-season career with B.C., Edmonton, Winnipeg and Toronto.<\/p>\n
Millington won Grey Cups with the Lions in 1994 and 2000 and was named the CFL’s most outstanding Canadian in 1997 and 2000.<\/p>\n
The former Simon Fraser University standout also ranks fourth in league history with 176 special-teams tackles.<\/p>\n
He is the second of six inductees to be announced for the Hall’s Class of 2026, which will be inducted Sept. 17 in Hamilton.<\/p>\n
Former Hamilton Tiger-Cats returner and receiver Brandon Banks was announced as the first member of the class earlier this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former B.C.
