Question
Can you be drafted or able to try out for the CFL if playing for a college in the US?

Answer
Absolutely!  In fact, about 1/2 of all the players in the CFL are American.  99.9% of them played college ball in the US.

Each team holds open tryouts at various locations throughout the USA in Feb/Mar/Apr.  Check the CFL website at www.cfl.ca for a list of teams.  Then go to each team's website to find out when the tryouts are taking place.

Good luck!
