[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878315"] I'm afraid the talent level in Big 5 conference football is far superior to what you'll find in the CFL. At the extreme, LSU and Ohio State each had 14 players drafted, and who knows how many more freshmen-juniors will be drafted in coming years. The #1 pick in the 2020 CFL draft, conducted shortly after the NFL draft, was East Carolina LB Jordan Williams. This player was not drafted by the NFL in 2018 and not even signed as a UDFA. He got a tryout in the 49ers rookie mini-camp but did not make the 90 man camp roster. Here's what the CFL 2020 draft looks like: [URL]https://www.cfl.ca/draft-tracker/[/URL] With CFL salaries ranging from something like $50,000 - $250,000, where the highest paid player makes less than half a minimum salary NFL rookie, the CFL doesn't even try to compete for NFL UDFAs who sign to a 90 man roster. The CFL drafts a lot of Canadian "nationals" since teams are required to fill about half their rosters with them. Jordan Williams qualified on that score because his mother is Canadian. While there's a late bloomer or two around the NFL who came out of the CFL, generally speaking what you get is an older, more physically mature player who has played more football of some kind where you can get some gauge of durability. There's a lot of Division III-type talent in that league who happen to have some maturity on their bones. [/QUOTE]
