Take a look at the types of skill players the CFL teams sign from US schools. Receivers and backs from spread offence schools, lots being 3rd down H-backs and slot receivers. And the number of option QBs and small spread-O QBs is pretty large. They bring em in and try them on for size. Some stick. It's been going on a long time. Ricky Foggie, Gilbert Renfroe, Cleo Lemon, Steven Jyles, Kerry Joseph, Michael Bishop, Damon Allen and Joe "747" Adams are just a few examples of option or spread-o QBs to come through Toronto.
