My brothers friend brother just now got invited to the B.C. Lions but he is still in college.?

Question

Is that strange?

Answer 1

If he's Canadian (or considered a Canadian under CFL rules, which doesn't always mean being a Canadian citizen), then no, it's not usual.  CFL teams are able to draft Canadian players who still have college eligibility left.

Answer 2

why would that be strange if he is a good player than he should get invited to play football, no matter what school he is in sports are more important

Answer 3

Could be to see how he plays.  An invite doesn't neccessarily mean a tryout.  Same thing happened to a friend of mine's son.  He had been drafted by BC as well and attended 2 training camps while he was still in university.  He plays for them now, but was just being exposed to a pro training camp and receiving additional coaching.
