The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have hired Lee Hull as their receivers coach.
The 60-year-old was most recently the head coach at Delaware State University, where he posted a 2-21 record over two years with the Hornets. He also served as the head coach for two seasons at Morgan State where he went 12-12 and was named the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2014.
Hull most notably served as the receivers coach of the Indianapolis Colts in 2016. The team went 8-8 that season with a receiver group that included T. Y. Hilton, Phillip Dorsett, and Donte Moncrief. Hilton led the NFL in receiving yardage that year, making 91 receptions for 1,448 yards and six touchdowns.
The native of Vineland, N.J. spent over 15 years as a receivers coach at the collegiate level, including stops at Holy Cross (1998-2002), Oregon State (2003-07), and Maryland (2008-13).
Hull played three seasons in the CFL as a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Toronto Argonauts. He caught 48 passes for 756 yards over 19 career games and scored a touchdown for the Blue Bombers in the 78th Grey Cup. He also tied with nine other players for the all-time league record for most kickoff returns in a single game (nine).
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were active in free agency, signing receivers Tommy Nield and Tim White, offensive lineman Jarell Broxton, defensive lineman Jake Ceresna, linebacker Jovan Santos-Knox, and defensive back Jonathan Moxey. The team also suffered a few departures, including receiver Keric Wheatfall (Hamilton Tiger-Cats) and defensive lineman James Vaughters (Saskatchewan Roughriders). Jake Thomas, the team’s longest-tenured player, retired to become its defensive line coach.
The Blue Bombers hold the fourth overall pick in the 2026 CFL Draft, which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m. EDT. All CFL training camps are scheduled to open on May 10. Winnipeg will play its first preseason game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday, May 23 and its regular-season game against the Calgary Stampeders on Friday, June 5.
In 2025, Winnipeg finished fourth in the West Division standings with a 10-8 record, qualifying for the playoffs as the crossover team before losing the East Semi-Final to the Montreal Alouettes.
