As Edmonton full-back during their 1980’s dynasty teams, Lumsden blocked for the likes of Warren Moon and Matt Dunnigan, helping the Eskimos capture the 1980, ’81 and ’82 Grey Cups. In 1981, Lumsden was awarded the Dick Suderman Trophy as the Grey Cup’s Outstanding Canadian, hauling in eight passes for 91 yards.
Appearing in 141 regular season games during his career, Lumsden carried the ball 767 times for 3,755 yards and 36 TDs. He also had 180 receptions for 1,729 yards and 15 more TDs.
Lumsden also found success in the front office as Ticats GM in the late 1990’s, helping construct the 1999 Grey Cup champion team.
