    One receiver who opened eyes is Ryan Smith. His size, his elusiveness and his catching ability had players and coaches whisper the name Weston Dressler.

    To add to the comparison, Smith is a North Dakota native, who didn't go the University of North Dakota like Dressler but rather North Dakota State University.

    "That wasn't Weston?" questioned Chamblin with a chuckle, "I thought that was Weston. The coaches were saying 'look at him, that #86 can go' but he has a long way to go before he's the next Weston Dressler but you do see some resemblance and it's not just the colour of the skin or anything but they're both fast but hopefully he works like him"

    Smith looked like the star of day one in the receiving corps.

    I seriously doubt that UN_ created a press release talking about Ryan Smith. Hence, nothing to copy and paste from. Therefore, your argument is invalid.

    I think this is a good path for him. If he can't make it on a CFL roster, there is no way he will make it on a NFL roster. Either put in a couple of years showing off his skills and wait for a call from someone down south or make himself a nice career up there. He can make low six figures a year playing football 6 months out of the year. Dressler is getting his shot in the NFL. There is no saying Ryan wouldn't get his.
