White and Harris CFL Prospects!

[SeattleGriz10]

I think both guys could be very good players at the next level! I live in Kent, Washington and so was excited to hear about both Keelan and Harris having an opportunity to play at the next level! Makes me wonder about their NFL chances, but regardless, congrats to both!

Given their Canadian roots and the fact White is a WR that runs good routes and has good hands and Harris's size, strength and ability to rush the QB and probably do so more effectively in a traditional 4-3-4 defense instead of the 3-3-5 he played in @ UM, I think both have an excellent chance of playing in the CFL, if not the NFL.

A 4-3-4 defense would have trouble holding back a 12 man offense.

Them Canadians, always finding ways to cheat. Don’t they know 12 men on the field is a penalty?

 

[billingsgriz]

Yeah, and they also use too big of a field, eh !!!

( I have images of Doug and Bob McKenzie from " The Great White North" flooding back into my head !!! )

What are Hayden Harris’s “Canadian roots”?

He holds canadian citizenship through his mother who was born in Vancouver BC and grew up in Canada. Extended family still live there.

So in Vancouver or Calgary, do the fans raise a 13 flag like The Hawks famous 12th Man flag in Seattle ?

That would just be unlucky. Can’t imagine even the most rabid of fans going there d/t superstition. Though how rabid can a canucker really be about anything besides hockey?

Gracias. Was trying to figure that out, given that he wasn’t born there.

Not that I'm aware of, however there used to be a guy at the Rider games who wore a scream mask type of get up and held up a sign that said "The 13th Man is Your Worst Nightmare." Presumably to scare the opposing team into losing the game.

Ironically the Riders lost the 2009 Grey Cup when the Alouettes got a second shot at a game winning field goal because the Riders had 13 men on the field. Haven't seen that get up at a game since. SMH
