Here's article from last year, when Cornish talks about the NFL:

Dickenson said it’s tough to carve out a spot in the NFL later in a player’s career.
“He probably could, if he wants to, but Jon’s never been interested in the glory of the NFL,” Dickenson said. “It took a long time for him to get his opportunity here.
“So, do you want to go down there and get on the chart? Would you rather be on a team and not play or be the starter and make such a big impact like he does with us?
“He’s the type of guy who has integrated himself in this community, and he loves this city.”

But Cornish doesn’t forsee a future in the four-down league.
“I think that ruled itself out a long time ago, unfortunately,” the 6-foot, 215-pounder said.
“I like to think I would have had the skill to play down there but I didn’t have the right mentality.
“I think that’s why I didn’t end up getting drafted.”
The former Kansas Jayhawks star said the CFL appealed to him right from the start.
“I didn’t have the right mentality going into the NFL combine,” he said. “I went to the Shrine Game and got to hang out with a few CFL coaches, and I hung out with some NFL coaches.
“Honestly, I was a lot more excited about the CFL than the NFL just based on that. I knew the CFL was a little more relaxed — and the NFL has changed some of their camp regulations and stuff — but I’m a pretty laid-back guy.”

Not that he couldn't change his mind.
