Re: NFL players who later played in CFL
Another players not mentioned were WRs Billy "White Shoes" Johnson and James Scott, who played for Montreal in 1981 before returning to the NFL (Johnson far more successfully).Reaser wrote:Is there a specific scenario you're looking for? Or just players who played in the NFL first then played in the CFL? Because that list includes players like Ricky Williams, Johnny Manziel, David Archer, Andre Ware, Paul Skansi, Fred Biletnikoff, Mark Gastineau and Andre Rison. Technically the criteria includes Doug Flutie, also. Mike Pringle and Pinball Clemons played in the NFL before becoming two of the all-time great CFL players.
In 2003, the Calgary Stampeders had RB Lawrence Phillips (A NFL bust who also played for Montreal before and played well for the Alouettes) and WR Albert Connell (who once gained 1,000 yards for the Redskins).
