Can This Former CFL Star Make The Roster?

Aaron Grymes’ early NFL dreams were crushed back in 2013.

After graduating from the University of Idaho, he participated in the Green Bay Packers’ rookie minicamp in 2013, but unfortunately wasn’t signed to the roster. His position coach in college, Torey Hunter, a former West Coast scout for the Edmonton Eskimos, turned him on to the idea of playing in the Canadian Football League. Grymes took the advice and eventually flourished in his three-year stint with the Eskimos. In 2015, he became both a Grey Cup champion and a CFL all-star. During this offseason, Grymes signed with the Eagles and looks to finally start his NFL career in Philadelphia.
