His second season in the CFL was very similar to his first; he finished the year with 476 yards on 38 receptions and five touchdowns in 12 games played.

During the season, he had career highs in receptions (69) and yards (947). In the 2013 playoffs, he averaged 3.4 catches and 64 yards per game. Grant and the Tiger-Cats were defeated by the Roughriders in the 101st Grey Cup. He played the entire regular season in 2014, however his overall production decreased. He finished the season with just 58 catches for 605 yards (average of only 3.2 catches for 33.6 yards per game). In the two playoff games, Grant totaled three catches for 50 yards. The Ti-Cats once again were defeated in the Grey Cup, this time losing to the Calgary Stampeders.
