Wait, is this the new Chris Wilson thread??

He's a great player in the CFL. Not sure how that will translate. Some players have made the jump, more have not.

Anyone know his times? At work I can't get the youtube links so I don't know how impressive he looks. I would suggest that, if he looks fast b/c his running past CFL'ers, he would not look as fast in an NFL game. The CFL is simply a slower game (competive b/c EVERYONE is slower). Not saying he won't make it (I hope he will), just that, when viewing CFL footage, put it in perspective. There is a reason that few CFL'ers are stars in the NFL.

With any luck he turns out to be a decent return guy and hopefully ousts ARE.
