1967 - 1979

197 games

Elected into the CFL Hall of Fame on June 30, 1979.

The legendary "Dirty 30" still possesses many of the team's career receiving records. He came to the Lions in 1967 from the Minnesota Vikings of the NFL in a trade for Joe Kapp. He went on to win the award for Most Outstanding Canadian twice 1970 and 1972 and was a Western Conference and All Canadian All-Star in 1968 and 1972. He gained a reputation for his hard nosed play, hence the nickname and forced defensive backs to watch out for him. His finest year was 1972 when he pulled in 63 passes for 1,362 yards and 11 touchdowns. Jim was as active off the field as on and has been involved in a variety of areas including media work. He served as Vice President of Business Operations for the team in 1991. Elected into the CFL Hall of Fame in 1991.
