Question

How good do u have to be canadian football player?

Answer 1

listen you have to be pretty D@nm good. these guys are no slouches and they take the job VERY seriously. they are professionals to the max. if the nfl was a 10 out of 10 for skill then the cfl is a 9 out of 10. dont expect to walk on any field an unknown and step up to a cfl player. they will beat yer a$$ as good as any NFLer

Answer 2

If you can't get past the practice squad on an NFL team this is right for you. Just because you play for the CFL does not mean your NFL career is over( see Doug Flutie, producer of my favorite cereal).

Answer 3

Don't take CFL for granted, players in it are very talented. Think of all the NFL players that came to the CFL; like ricky williams sucked *** and quincy carter didnt make final cuts.

Answer 4

CFL players are generally faster, quicker, and smaller than their NFL counterparts. Most American CFL players have played at the NCAA Division I level (remember that there are 4 total divisions of NCAA football) and done well.

In a nutshell, it is not easy. Being a professional player of any sport is rare and only the most talented make it, but I'm not saying you can't. Go for it! The CFL always needs new, great players.

Answer 5

Ask some of the NFL former stars who couldn't make it. You'll get the answer.

It's better than any non NFL US league.

Answer 6

Depends on whether you're Canadian or American.  You'll have to have done pretty well in university football, regardless.  Or, if you're Canadian, playing NCAA football is usually enough to earn a CFL roster spot...

Answer 7

about as hard as it is to be a pro in any other league,  you have to be better then the rest that are going for your spot,

but being canadian does help as their is a canadian content rule for roster content,  teams are req to have 21 canadian born or canadian trained players
