About his best seasons in the CFL, Mills said:
"Making the Grey Cup in 1988 was great but it sure was a letdown losing a game we should have won. I'd have to say my best memory would be the '91 season with Flutie as our quarterback. We were getting over 40,000 in the dome and I think we had seven games that went to overtime." (RN)

RN Note: "Mills collected three CFL All-Star honours (1988, 1990, 1991) and was named a Western All-Star five times (1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993) over nine seasons in Black and Orange. The Vancouver native also received the nod as the league's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman in two consecutive seasons (1990, 1991). He played tight end for the Richmond Colts and shifted to lineman at the University of Hawaii where he earned a full-ride scholarship. He is a member of the B.C. Lions Wall of Fame and and was named to the club's 50th Season Dream Team in 2003."
