If more teams see him play they might realize that he could be that replacement level guy who's better than Zach Wilson.
AJ McCarron was named XFL MVP this year. Don't think NFL teams are chomping at the bit to sign him.

I think CFL fans need to realize that the talent gap between the CFL and NFL is much wider than it was in the 90s and early 00s.
