There are always loads of younger running backs coming from the NCAA, in any given year, that the NFL has interest in.

    Also, I heard or read a quote from Wilder this past week which indicated that he was planning on moving his kids to Toronto for next season so he seems to be planning on playing for the Argos in 2018.
    In would say Gil Fenerty and Kenton Keith had more actual playing success in the NFL than Minter did.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Yep - pretty well; all 3 went down to the CFL after being star CFL RBs.

    Minter had 281 yards from scrimmage in his 2 seasons with the Jets; Fenerty had 1,276 yards from scrimmage in his 2 seasons with the Saints; and Keith had 610 yards from scrimmage in his one season with the Colts; Minter & Fenerty also did some kick return duties in their NFL stints.

    Minter's CFL success saw him do a lot as a pass catching back in the Argo offence; Fenerty & Keith were quite a bit superior pure running tailbacks IMO. I wished Gill the Thrill had stayed a long-time Argo - one of my all time fave Argo RBs - in a pretty long list - the great Dick Shatto, Symons, McQuay, Terry Metcalf, Pinball, Drummond, Mike Jenkins; maybe Wilder will stay quite awhile and join that list ? - Shatto & Pinner are the only long-time Argos there.

    Yeah - Orange had the one really good season; but not on my a) list there for all-time Argo backs; on the b) list with other still very talented RBs - like Anthony Davis or Kackert or Boyd or Wilder now. Not easy to get on the a) list = combo of talent/skills + Argo accomplishments
