Pinball; Ryan Hunter; Cory Greenwood ...

The Big Z (Chiefs punter in 78)

Tony Adams (QB'd both teams)

Eric Harris (star cornerback for both teams)

Marc Boerigter (several Chiefs' seasons; bit of Argo time in his return to the CFL)

Rob Waldrop (drafted by the Chiefs and played a few games there as a rookie; went on to 2 very good Argos seasons at DT)

Terry Greer.

49ers connection; can't think of many others. (* edit - Reggie Givens; Arland Bruce was somewhere on the 49ers roster for one season)

And too bad Terry wasted some NFL time stuck behind 49ers star receivers (Rice & Taylor); did more in his last season with more playing time with Detroit

Arik Armstead's brother Armond played for the Argos.

It’s unfotrunate Greer originally signed with the Browns upon his CFL departure. Sam Rutigliano had no clue.

A glaring example of NFL cluelessness about top CFL talent - unless the guy was a top NFL draft pick before or has some coaching connections down there in his corner, the chances of getting to play or be recognized are not that good.

Wasn’t Greer not hampered by hamstring injuries during his time with the Browns?

My bad, you are correct.
