KAMLOOPS — In his five seasons with the B.C. Lions, Bryan Burnham has recorded three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons while averaging over 15 yards a catch.

The receiver’s best season came two years ago when he caught 79 balls for 1,392 yards. Last year, he was tied for third in the CFL with nine touchdown catches while being named to the all-CFL team for the second straight season.

By any measure Burnham has enjoyed a standout career, but when he looks over the rocky terrain of his time here there’s only stat that matters. Over his five years, the Leos have won one playoff game.

That’s why Burnham, and everyone else at Training Camp 2019, looks at the new quarterback and, for the first time in almost a decade, allows himself to believe this can be the year of the Lion.

“It’s exciting, man,” Burnham says. “It’s been a lot of fun so far. I hate to use that word potential, but there’s a chance this could be something great.”
