It’s less of a rare occurrence then you’d think for a NFL team to pick up a CFL star. And in Nathan Rourke’s case, many teams seem like they want him.

Nathan had a breakout season this year so its no secret that teams are looking to snatch him up. So far in his off season hes worked out with the Cincinnati Bengals, L.A. Chargers, Las Vegas, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Arizona Cardinals. Its also confirmed he will have even more workout sessions with unannounced teams in the coming weeks. He told media that it was in his plan to explore his options this off season:

“I never had a true opportunity at the NFL level, not as a quarterback, and that’s always been something that I’ve wanted to at least try for a very long time.”

“I’m fortunate to have an opportunity and see where that goes and understand that I have a heck of an opportunity still here with the Lions. And so, to me, it’s a win-win, really.”

Rourke was a potential draft pick in the 2021 NFL season, but went un drafted. It was then he made the decision to join the CFL and was pricked up by the B.C. Lions.

Rourke had a superstar season leading the B.C. Lions to a 8-1 record before he got injured and was named the leagues top Canadian.

B.C. would be sad to see Rourke go, but its nice to see this young superstar get the recognition he deserves.
