>>The CFL is well acquainted with UConn players as Mateas is the seventh Husky taken since 2004 second behind only Eastern Michigan for the most players selected from a U.S. college since 2004. Moe Petrus, who was the starting center at UConn in 2011 when Mateas was redshirting after transferring from Penn State, held the distinction for the highest selection by a UConn products in the CFL Draft before tonight as Petrus was taken 10th overall in 2011.<<

Another cupboard bare moment.

I was thinking the same thing. Hard to justify 2-10 with all of the pro-level kids getting looks and contracts.

Congrats to Alex!
