"It is undoubtedly an impressive list, but much like any potential canton bust of Tom Brady that doesn’t include his flowing locks, it is missing something up top.That something is Cameron Wake."
Part of the article that I don't agree with is the insinuation he can't play at a high level in his mid thirties..He's so much more advanced in his training and nutrition and genetics, he should be good to go til 35 at least.
We're gonna have to extend him if he's on par with last year, he's underpaid..

As for "CFL stigma" about every 7 yrs or so, starting with Warren Moon, a upper level to dominant player has come from the CFL, at least an all pro:
Moon
Jeff Garcia
Brandon Adebayo
Cam Wake
Brandon Browner
A good list really, downside is sometimes you have guys who don't pan out like Qb Casey Printers or John Chick (though a knee injury knocked him out of the league right when he was coming into his own in Jacksonville)
In fact, this yr ESPN2 will be broadcasting CFL games as will NBCSNSICK likes this. -
Wake is a beast, but I wonder why he is on the left side, and does that take some of his notoriety. Being that obvious advantage, should a top-tier DE have even better production on the weaker side? That being said, I don't think anyone will contain our pass rush this year. There are just too many options in the front seven.

He's great from that side of the line. Some guys develop their skills on one side or the other and that's where he flourishes. He can really use his right arm leverage to get under and past the RT - and he's as good as any at doing that. Reversing all those techniques to a different side is not altogether easy, either.
