Gators in the CFL

[Theologator]

My father-in-law stopped on a CFL game this afternoon for a few minutes and I heard Louchiez Purifoy’s name called. I did a little poking around snd found these Gators are on CFL rosters. Some, like the first one, really surprised me. Others make sense. Players - CFL.ca

Orlando Apollo's vets. Okine was a beast in the AAFL.

I doubt it.

And it’s that Monopoly money.

My uncle from Toronto, longtime CFL fanatic, said Chris Rainey was one of the best players he ever saw. Said he was better than Rocket Ismael. I had no idea.

He’s crazy quick & elusive, which must go well with their bigger field, motion etc.

Perhaps that should be our new recruiting hook. Come to UF and your dreams of playing football for pay will live on in the CFL after your college eligibility runs out.

Nah, you just put together a lengthy reel of Driskell NFL highlights and say, "If he can get paid for that, so can you!"

If Driskel can do it, why not you?

You get it.

We did have 8 drafted by the NFL this year, tied for 5th most & 2 fewer than Bama & OSU’s 10. Gators had 7 drafted in 2020, also tied for 5th.

Makes 8-4 all the more irritating.
