Nice! Hope he can take a couple solid CFL years and get a shot in the NFL. I think he could make it, he was special.

From Jim Fuller:

>>MAKING THE CUT

Rookies John Green, Trey Rutherford and Noel Thomas are among six former UConn standouts who to have survived Canadian Football League cutdown day.

Montreal leads the way with three UConn products on its roster in veteran long snapper Martin Bedard, fourth-year defensive lineman Jesse Joseph and Rutherford, an offensive lineman taken with the second overall pick in this year's draft.

Thomas, a receiver who had eight catches in two preseason games, joins offensive lineman and former No. 1 overall CFL pick Alex Mateas on the Ottawa Redblacks roster. Hamilton's roster includes Green, a defensive back who was signed by the team on May 18.<<

A lot of talent north of the border. Great to have a presence up there.

Seems all I heard was praise for the quarterback. Did I miss something?

It'd probably be a lot of fun to play WR in the CFL. The three downs and pre-snap motion make for a lot of big plays.

I have to say, I do not like the look of that R on his helmet.

... with a larger end zone

Definitely has NFL ball skills, unfortunately he doesn’t fit the speed demon mold of today’s NFL WRs
