(Vancouver) The BC Lions Football Club announced today that they have signed import wide receiver Eric Kimble.

During a brilliant four-year career at Eastern Washington, Kimble caught 253 passes for 4,140 yards and 46 touchdowns. He also rushed for 339 yards and five touchdowns on 65 carries, returned 74 punts for a 13.4-yard average and three touchdowns and fielded 28 kickoffs for a 16.6-yard average.

Kimble holds virtually every school single-season career receiving record. As a junior, he was a second team I-AA All-America selection as a receiver and a first-team all-conference pick as both a receiver and return specialist. He was a first-team Division I-AA All-America pick and a first-team All-Big Sky Conference selection his senior year when he caught 87 passes for 1,419 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Miami Dolphins in 2006, Kimble injured his Achilles tendon during training camp and missed the entire regular season. He was released by the Dolphins in 2007.
