CFL's number 1 pick?!? Super Bowl.

you remember that runningback we picked up a few years back who was the #1 pick in the CFL?

 

can't remember his name. i think some team up there even traded their whole draft for the #1 spot or something. not sure he even made it through training camp.

Jamall Lee? He made it to end of pre-season and he even got a TD in the last game.

 

His CFL career didn't last very long, either. He retired last year.

 

I expect McGloin to be signed as well.

I wonder what the #1 overall pick in the CFL would get contract wise? Not sure I would give that up without a decent chance of making the team.

Also, Brendon Ayanbedejo approves of these signings.

Not much money to be made in the CFL. Unless your a quarterback, most guys work in the off season. I believe Casey Printers was given a contract of 3 years at 500,000 a season and at the time that was a huge deal. If this kid doesnt make the panthers, he can come back up and rejoin the team that drafted him.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
