Note: Individual season stats are experimental and come from multiple sources. 2006 to present use CFL sources. 2003-2005 use combination CFL sources and media game boxscore sources. Prior to 2003 use media game boxscore sources and include only passing, rushing and receiving stats (kicking, returns and defensive stats are not available). Discrepancies with official stats are known to exist for some players for all seasons. Use at your own peril.
