This was at a time that the CFL often out bid the NFL for graduating college players.

Joe Kapp QBed the Stamps and the Lions and later led the Vikings to the Super Bowl under former Blue Bombers head coach Bud Grant. Like Garcia and Flutie he never got any respect by the American media though.

Bob Jeter a DB and HB, played for the Packers after leaving the BC Lions and won 2 Super Bowls. He just died on the 20th at 71.
