Good God, I know one thing from watching that highlight video - I do NOT want to see any of those offensive lineman anywhere NEAR the Steelers camp.
They barely put a hand on him most times. He just ran around the tackle and got to the QB on a 7-step drop.
I mean, I'm not dismissing the idea ... well, yes, I kind of am. The dude did not once actually engage and beat the offensive tackle. I am very dubious that he could hold the point in run defense.
Lets remember it is a highlight package. The CFL works like this, you are allowed a certain number of import (American Players). QB's, Defensive Backs, Running Backs, Wide Receivers, Line backers/ Defensive Ends are normally your import players. That means the bulk of your lineman need to be Canadian. The best (Brett Boyko is Canadian and attends UNLV, he is the number one Canadian prospect and might go in the 7th round or as UFA in the NFL) are worth their weight in gold. Often you have a guy who has played 4 years at a Canadian University lined up against a guy who started in a major Bowl. That is a pretty big drop in experience/talent. I love when they talk about nerves in a big CFL game. These guys have played in front of 85,000 people at the Big House. Don't think this is going to phase themsame thinking here ..my god what lineman they have around there
