The CFL has seen the highest number of players head to the NFL this offseason in quite some time, with Lions' defensive back Josh Johnson (to the Jacksonville Jaguars), Eskimos' defensive back Aaron Grymes (to the Philadelphia Eagles), Argonauts' defensive end Tristan Okpalaugo (to the Arizona Cardinals), Argonauts' defensive tackle Cleyon Laing (to the Miami Dolphins), and Argonauts' kicker Swayze Waters (to the Carolina Panthers) in the most recent group. As Lowell Ullrich writes at 3 Down Nation, they're amongst the 15 players who have gone from the CFL to the NFL so far this offseason (and others could join them; players like Henoc Muamba are still out there), which is above the numbers we've seen in other recent years:
