Some surprising (and one familiar name) on the list: Running Back/Kick Returners -Noel Devine dangerous kick returner -Jock Sanders same as above -Kory Sheets (he was on pace for 2,500 yds rushing) -Chad Simpson, fmr Bengal Wr's Nick Moore (brother of the Saints Moore, already had a workout with the Vikings) Weston Dressler (think of him as a Welker type of Wr) Akeem Foster, a large, fast Wr Chris Williams* Do it all, explosive Wr/Kr Yes "the" Chris Williams from preseason 2010 iirc, he was a daemon in the CFL, sat out last season trying to leave his contract, he lost in arbitration but still sat out. Lb Henoc Muamba, raw player initially, he has great measurables and would be a ST only type of player Sheets and Dressler figure to have the largest impact quickly if they land a shot, Muamba is intriquing, Nick Moore is a solid player who was a go to Wr for the first time in his career and responded with a great season. Scratch Chris Williams, he signed with New Orleans this past October
I liked what I saw of Sheets when we had him for pre-season in 09/10, thought he was very promising, but his bad injury at the time meant he had no chance with us. Was good to see him recovered and playing lights out in the CFL.
Not sure if you've watched him the CFL, he won the MVP of their Grey Cup and was doing a vintage Chris Johnson impersonation until he injured an ankle or knee. From what I can gather, Sheets went through a Wake like transformation after a mediocre first season up there, he dropped weight, his twitter conversations changed completely from partying etc to dropping weight and doing lots of public appearances for the franchise. Funny story about him, like most players at the end of the year he shipped his car down to his US home, then found out he still had some things to do in town, so a local fan drove him around town to do them so he gave him a game worn, autographed jersey for his troubles...only in the CFL... Found it funny that Sheets and Williams were so dominant in the CFL after cycling through our Training Camp and preseasons. They have a lot of talent just did not have a chance to play here.

BigBucks hit me up with some info that Weston Dressler is getting a look in KC He's a Wes Welker type of Wr, only he's probably quicker/faster
Quick update: Dressler signed in KC and Wpg released Henoc Muamba, the #1 overall pick in the CFL draft in 2011, he's a MLB who has had a workout in Baltimore already. Muamba is a physical talent but coming up in the Canadian version of the NCAA, the CIS, he's green but had his best yr in 2013 w/106 tackles, some team will roll the dice hoping for the next Jerrel Freeman. Muamba never had the impact Freeman had in the CFL however.
Noel Devine would interest me. I think he could be a great KR guy and could turn into a hybrid player that could become a dangerous slot guy.
Eh, sort of, there is another of the jitterbug types in the CFL, Jock Sanders, they did not dominate, which is rule #1 for a CFL to NFLer to make the jump They need to be more Brandon Banks, a NFL to CFLer: [video=youtube;FtKQ6tOoUek]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtKQ6tOoUek[/video]
Welp, that did not take long, physically he is impressive, no surprise really, and their ST has a tonne of athleticism now
