Congratulations and good luck to these guys….It is a great accomplishment and shows their commitment, hard work, dedication and resiliency for these players to have an opportunity to continue playing years after their time at A&T….These players were on the teams that had winless records which made it more difficult and that greater of an accomplishment to make a training camp roster with all this talent at different positions there was NO reason to go winless also how many other players were lost or not given a chance to play because of the coaching staffs that DID NOT utilize talent to make professional roster. Only a few have this great of an opportunity to even receive an invite to participate in training camp to continue playing professionally…..So good luck again guys you have already accomplished so much!!

The CFL has always welcomed HBCU players. I hope that more HBCU players take advantage of the CFL. Money is Money.

Thanks its not the NFL but its decent pay for a short period of time. Not sure I would take the body abuse of football for $75k more than a year or two.

(Not sure I would take the body abuse of football for $75k more than a year or two. )...Clearly you have better choices and do not have dreams of playing in the NFL. I wonder what Glasper is making. Heck, isn't there a semi pro team of sorts in Greensboro? They must be playing for beer money and still dreaming
