Re: Lions' 2014 Free Agent camps ... First one April 6

Edmonton will have at least 21 open tryouts in the US by the time training camp is scheduled to open. That's the most I've seen in the CFL. Haven't heard if they are still planning their Canadian open tryout that they've held for several years. Others (as they've been posted...not always published o...

Good group of camps. Not as many as in previous years but they are in good talent areas.

Paredes was an undrafted free agent when Winnipeg signed him.

Vancouver 1907

Even as a non-Vancouverite I found this really interesting.

Great footage of Vancouver back in 1907, filmed by an individual that a few years later was on board the Titanic filming that voyage. He lost his life on that assignment.

Re: Lions' 2013 Free Agent Camps

The Lions found Cam Wake at one of these free agent camps. Nobody knew who he was at that point.

Elite Combine Series

Just want to thank D for letting me post this in here. Since I know so many coaches/parents are fans themselves and visit the forums I just wanted to invite players out to a great event. Top Prospects is running their Elite Combine Series from coast to coast this year and each event has a $1,000 sch...

Re: CFL presence at Senior Bowl has a different meaning

I highly recommend all football fans to head down for Senior Bowl once. I have had some individuals ask me to set up a tour down there to see Senior Bowl and then tour some schools close by. This past year after Senior Bowl we headed to Florida State and saw a pair of National Championships Trophies...

Parker ran a 4.27 back in February in Calgary. He's a quick kid.

Vaughn has career totals of 20 GP 7 tackles 5 assisted tackles 1 sack.

Re: Who's #2? (and we're not talking back-up QBs here)

And the hope is that MLS can, over time, replace the Canadian Football League as Canada’s second-most valuable TV franchise, after hockey. What they meant to say was if the MLS can replace the NHL as Canada's second most watched sport. CFL will continue to go up in TV ratings and I'm hoping that Ot...

Re: Danny Watkins

but why pick a guy even the pundits on here knew would never see a play in 3 down football....seems like a very long shot at best for your 1st pick. :dizzy: Going back to the 2010 Draft there was a lot more talk about John Bender being drafted than any other Canadian offensive lineman which is part...

Re: CFL Draft May 8, 2011... Scott Mitchell now #1

I like Henoc Muamba, who has moved up as high as the projected #3 pick by some pundits. We already have his brother and could have our own "Henrick and Daniel" duo on the Lions defence. :thup: A. Parker does remind me of P. Jackson, a bit...but his performance in the big game is disconcer...
