CFL Has Very Talented Players. We Often Wonder How These Bonified Stars Match Up To Players In Real Life. This Article Breaks It Down. As We Bring To You, The Top Players In CFL, And Their Real NFL Life Comparison. Meaning If This Player Was Actually In The NFL, Who Would They Play Like. This Is In No Particular Order. Let’s Get Started!
Lemmons, QB/LB (Ravens) - Josh Allen
Lemmons Is Arguably The Best Quarterback In The League. The Throws He Makes Are Simply Incredible. Side-Armed 50 Yard Touchdowns, Incredible Runs, Shaking And Hopping Over Linebackers, And Great Leadership Skills, Make Him CFL’s Version Of Josh Allen. Both Display Great Talent, Technique, And Leadership. Both Are The Clear-Cut Franchise Guy Of Their Respective Teams, And Should Go On To Have Long Successful Careers Filled With Awards And Rings.
Spook, OL/DL (Bills) - Aaron Donald
Aaron Donald Is The Best Defensive Tackle In The NFL. He Wins With Devastating Quickness, Surprising Power, And Multiple Pass Rush Techniques That Puts Him On A Level Nobody Else Is On. Sounds A Lot Like Spook. Spook Is The Best At What He Does. His Ability To Push Any Offensive Lineman Back Like They Weigh 5 Pounds Is Astonishing. His Quick, Deadly, Dive Move Make Opposing Offenses Never Know What Came At Them. Just Like Donald, Spook Is Turning Out To Be A Generational Player. Any Team That Faces The Bills Needs To Find Out Ways To Neutralize Spook, Or It’s Game Over. Also Like Donald, This Talented Player Is Headed For The Hall Of Fame If He Decides To Keep Playing. But Once Again Like Donald, He Suffers From A Historically Dysfunctional Team.
Zaza, WR/CB (Vikings) - Tee Higgins
Zaza Is Infamous For His Insane Jump Ball Ability. Being Able To Go Up And Get Fifty-Fifty Balls Against The Best Cornerbacks In The League. Making Him A Living, Walking, Highlight Reel Every Week. His Real Life Counter-Part Tee Higgins, Is Living In His Image. Tee Higgins Has Special Hands And A Knack For Getting Open. He Always Plays Smart And Is A Sneaky-Good Blocker As Well. Just Like Z, He Will Only Get Better. Once The QB Throws Him The Ball More That Is.
Rizz, WR/CB (Falcons) - Jaire Alexander
Rizz Is An Underrated Player In CFL. He Has Some Impressive Coverage Skills, Ball Instincts, And Tackling Ability. He Also Carries That “Lockdown Corner” Mentality On His Shoulders. Often Making Confident, And Risky Plays That End Up Going His Way. He Can Step Up To The Line Of Scrimmage And Play Physical-Push Coverage, Or He Can Step Back 10 Yards And Cover Space In An Instant. Guys Like Jaire Alexander Are Known For This. A Sticky, Feisty, Confident, And Instinctive Corner That Makes It All Look Easy.
Lexi, WR/CB (Ravens) - Stefon Diggs
It’s Not A Stretch At All To Say Lexi Is The Best Route Runner In The League. Most Players That Disagree Are Saying That Soley Because They Haven’t Seen Her Play. But What Does Come Into Play Is Her Dominance Every Single Week. Racking Up Yards With Short Plays, Or Deep Plays. Add Hands, Speed, And Natural Football IQ, And You Have A Carbon-Copy Of Stefon Diggs. Just Like Diggs, Lexi Is One Of The Best Receivers In The League, And Depending On How You Look At Other Top Recievers Like Zaza, She Is The Best WR Of Her Era.
88Fate, WR/DL (Colts) - DeVonta Smith
A Receiver That Doesn’t Necessarily Win With Strength And Jump Balls, But Sneaky Good Routes, Technique, And Good Chemistry With The Quarterback. Are We Talking About Fate Or DeVonta Smith? Both Carry Similar Skill-Sets, And Are Also One Of The Best At Their Positions. The Difference For Fate, Is That He Is The Definitive WR1 For His Team. The Big Dog. It’s Been Like That Since He Arrived In Indianapolis, And It Will Be Like That For Many Seasons To Come With The Talent This Young Man Possesses.
GhostRider, WR/CB/OL/DL (Falcons) - Wyatt Teller
Ghost Can Also Play Wide Receiver, But Does His More Impressive Work As An Offensive Lineman. Ghost Is Not On The Same Level As A Generational Talent Like Spook. But He Is Still A Great Blocker In Both The Run, And The Pass. He Moves Blockers With Ease, And Gives His Quarterback Time To Make Plays. Teller Is Just Alike. Being A Strong, Solid, Dependable Player That Is Crucial To His Offense’s Success. They Both Share The Same Nastiness As Well.
