    I'm just happy NFL "scouts" don't watch much film of CFL play.
    If Stiggers was selected in the early rounds of the NFL draft, as has been suggested by some, I think that would indicate a healthy NFL respect for CFL coaching and quality of play. But personally I think it’s unlikely he’ll be drafted.

    Didn't I read Stiggers played in the US Shrine all-star game and was rated one of the most impressive players there ? (3 Down report maybe?)

    That would do way more for him with NFL "scouts" vs. film of his CFL play - which makes basically zero sense since CFL level of play is so superior to any US college ball it isn't even funny. But, again (IMO) NFL GMs and scouts basically don't, anymore, give a rat'$ @$$ about players who have been very good or even superb in the CFL - they have lots of FAs from their own league, plus the draft is a very big thing for them with tons of good players to look at. And that NFL "thinking" is very good with me.

    Yes, Stiggers played in that game and wore his Argos helmet while doing so!
    Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

    Yes. His performance drew a lot of attention from the scouts in attendance. Every team in the NFL now knows who he is.

    Pretty awesome to see him with his Argos helmet tearing it up.
