The athletes in the CFL are just an eyelash away from being in the NFL - still, very elite football players, when you consider how many men play NCAA football.

I also think the Canadian guys acquit themselves quite well when given a chance too. Javier Glatt of the Lions played with my brother at UBC and my brother always raved about how good he was and how well he would do if given a shot. When injuries forced him into the starting lineup and I'd say he's shown he's no slouch. Same with when the Ti-Cats actually use Jesse Lumsden to run the ball, he does as well or better than the American backs in the league. Top end Canadian guys don't measure up to NFL calibre players, but the gap isn't that much between them and the next tier of American players.
