Being a Syracuse fan I immediately noticed Art BakerDon McPherson, and Robert Drummond were missing from your list.

I always enjoy a little CFL appreciation !  


On a somewhat related note... 
If you're ever inspired to do a similar list regarding WLAF/ NFL EUROPE players, 
you might be surprised by some of the names there.  

That league gets ZERO credit ... but NFL history would probably look VERY
different if these guys didn't get a chance to keep their careers alive there: 

QB Kurt Warner 
QB Brad Johnson 
LB James Harrison 
LB Mike Jones 
PK Adam Vinatieri

Thanks, C2Cigars.  If I could only remember how to comment each card on the list, I'll give you credit on those ones, plus add some of their CFL career details :)

I'd be curious to see that list myself, altaeria.  I know little of those leagues, and was surprised to find I have a card of a Montreal Machines player in my collection.  However, I have a feeling this CFL one will keep me busy enough.

Thanks for the suggestions. I wanted to revive this because I'm missing the CFL so much now! I just bought Argos season tickets earlier in the year, and can't wait until it is safe to use them :)

I'll be sure to update this when I get a second, and I just alphebatized it last night.

See the back of his card ... WFL and CFL before joining the NFL:

Thanks! His Wikipedia mentions he was one called "the most expensive passing decoy in the history of the league". Ouch!

How did we forget Johnny Rodgers?

Zenon Andrusyshyn, Horace Belton, and Garland Boyette ... I clicked on the site below, looked up the Montreal Alouettes as a sample and found these players easily just looking at names starting with 'A' and 'B'.

Thanks, jmnovff

Dave Dickenson is already on the list, and I believe I added Bud Grant from the last time I edited, but nonetheless great work once again! Mervyn Fernandez is a pretty noteworthy omission, so I'll get on that and the rest.

If I missed any that have previously been mentioned, I apologize. There was a while where I was only doing cards that were labelled as RCs on this site, but I'll add any NFL card of a player including team/food issue (such as the case with Darren Flutie).

1950 Topps Felt Backs are not NFL cards nor rookie cards; they are college cards.

I'll have to figure out which I used 1950 Topps for. My mistake!
