Max Duffy Drafted by the CFL

Every league wants to draft Max Duffy.

Next week the former UK punter could become the first player ever taken in the Australian Football League and the National Football League. Last week Duffy got one step closer to a professional trifecta when he was drafted by the Canadian Football League.

With the 30th pick in the 2021 CFL Global Draft, the Toronto Argonauts selected Max Duffy. The Argonauts knew the punter is likely on his way to the NFL, but they still thought it was wise to take a chance on Max.

“The chances are he’s going to be in the NFL,” said the Argos’ Director of Scouting, Vince Magri.
