Highlights:

 

2025: Justin enjoyed another standout season in this record-breaking offence and earned both All-CFL and West Division All-CFL honours after finishing second on the team in most major categories. He recorded 76 receptions for 1,256 yards and seven touchdowns across 18 regular season games. Justin had a season-high 159 yards in an overtime victory at Hamilton on August 7, with his big play on a late 3rd and 14 keeping the Lions alive.

In the two Grey Cup Playoff games, Justin hauled in eight receptions on ten targets for a team-leading 152 yards

 

2024: It was the breakout season of all breakout seasons for Justin as he emerged as the team finalist for Most Outstanding Player and Canadian plus earned All-CFL and All-West Division honours after career-highs in receiving yards (1,469), receptions (92) and touchdowns (seven). Justin became the first Canadian to lead the CFL in receiving since Andy Fantuz in 2010 while his yards total was the second-highest by a Canadian Lion after Matt Clark (1,530 in 191) and the eighth-best for a Canadian all-time, surpassing single-season totals previously set by the likes of Fantuz, Brad Sinopoli, Jeff Fairholm and Ray Elgaard. His 243 yards in a week six win over Saskatchewan was the fifth-highest single-game total in franchise history, surpassing the 238 yards from Geroy Simon in November 2003.

 

2023: Justin proved to be one of the club’s most valuable new additions in 2023 as he hauled in 46 receptions for 690 yards and five touchdowns, all career-highs, across 18 regular season games. In two playoff games, he racked up 134 yards on six receptions and scored a big Hail Mary touchdown to close out the first half of the Western Final at Winnipeg.

 

2022: Justin suited up in 13 regular season games and recorded 33 receptions for 364 yards and scored his first two touchdowns.

 

2021: Recorded seven receptions for 83 yards in six regular season games.

 

2019: Selected in round one (sixth overall) by the Saskatchewan Roughriders, McInnis hauled in ten receptions for 149 yards in 14 regular season games and went on to suit up in the Western Final against Winnipeg.
