Skins sign another CFL player

I think it will be far easier to make the team as a cornerback this year than as a running back last year.

As far as being cut from Detroit, we all know they don't have any good players, so Millen must cut them all. ;-)

We'll get better players with our 6th and 7th round picks.

Also, another point. Adding guys like this can be good for the attitude of your football team. They're young and hungry, and willing to do anything to make a team and make an impression. They're guaranteed to bring their lunchpails every day. So even if they're just around for camp and then gone come September, sometimes their workmanlike attitude can be contagious in training camp.

I completely agree. These guys are young & hungry (unlike most players the skins sign) with the potential to outplay their contract. I'd like to see the skins find & sign more of these guys.

Rock Cartwright kind of guys

We've also resigned OL Kili Lefotu - the first of our 7th round draft picks from 2006 - to a three year contract.

He was the guy who collapsed in the dorm at Training Camp last year and was put into hospital.

Why are we signing these dudes???

Do you read through threads, or just respond to the first post you see?

There are a good five posts in this thread explaining exactly why we'd want to sign guys like this.

You won't get any wise ass remarks as long as you avoid asking questions that were answered a mere five posts earlier.

I think the CFL serves as a great psuedo-minor league system for the NFL, along with NFL Europe. Every once in a while a guy who's needs just a little bit more experience or conditioning or whatever gets a shot and makes a decent contribution to their team. It's like pannig for gold but the payout could be just as good.

I'm just posting to see if we can hit 3 pages over a CFL player...heehee

Darn it didn't work.
