[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878338"] Big 5 conference football is professional football in all respects except for the players not getting paid. It's the NFL's version of MLB's AAA. The college player activists in demanding pay will tell you it's up to a 60 hour football work week. The coaches are highly paid, the facilities in size and quality exceed those in the CFL, the money that flows in, around and through big time college football far exceeds anything in the CFL. Guys coming out of the CFL even making a roster are rare. Gems are not rare--they are extremely rare. It just boils down to whether there is that extremely rare late bloomer who reaches maturity playing the Canadian game who is held back more by the quality of teammates more than advantaged by the quality of the opponents. Here's a list that includes those gems and some not so gem-like. [URL]https://www.americanfootballinternational.com/best-nfl-players-that-played-in-the-cfl/[/URL] The last player of any consequence to come out of the CFL was Brandon Browner a decade ago. Cam Wake was a couple years before that, Jeff Garcia a decade before those guys. I made a mistake earlier in mentioning Duvernay-Tardiff. He's Canadian, he played college ball at McGill in Montreal, but he never played in the CFL--drafted by the Chiefs and he's been there ever since. Could Begelton turn into an NFL player? Anything is possible. The odds are extremely long. [/QUOTE]
