While it is a far cry from the capitalist behemoth that is the NFL, the CFL has a long history and a passionate fan base. Some college football fans seem to assume any regular starter on an FBS roster could make a go at it in Canada if they felt like it. The quality of players in the Canadian game has been a rude surprise to many foreign aspirants though. Due to league rules governing the number of American players that can a) be on any team’s roster and b) on the field for any given play, Americans tend to only stick on CFL rosters if they are seen as locks to start when healthy.
