Former Lions RB Millington rushes into Canadian Football Hall of Fame

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.

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.

Millington won Grey Cups with the Lions in 1994 and 2000 and was named the CFL’s most outstanding Canadian in 1997 and 2000.

The former Simon Fraser University standout also ranks fourth in league history with 176 special-teams tackles.

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.

Former Hamilton Tiger-Cats returner and receiver Brandon Banks was announced as the first member of the class earlier this month.
