The former Lions says, sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½˜I had a really healthy respect for the (CFL) game coming up and theresa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s no question that because I was in Montana and they were following Dave Dickinson that I knew that Isa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™d been following what was going onsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™.

He was also named the CFLsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s Most Outstanding Player in 2011 and was a two-time CFL All-Star (2011, 2016).

Throughout his career, Lulay was known for his intelligence, leadership, and ability to make clutch plays in critical situations. He was also highly respected by his teammates and coaches for his work ethic and his dedication to the game.

Unfortunately, Lulaysa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s career was plagued by injuries, and he was forced to retire in 2019 due to a chronic shoulder problem.

sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½˜Isa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™m one of the lucky ones, I got to do it. Isa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™ve got to live that dream out. Obviously theresa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s some heartbreaking moments, but thatsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s life, right? Like thatsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s just life, itsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s not all smooth sailing and I got to live out some pretty awesome onessa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™, says Lulay.
