I guess I'm confused how the CFL works. I hope Donovan is playing his senior year with the Sioux. Montreal must have his rights out of college. What if other offers come up outside the CFL?

Per the explanation in this link he is still eligible to return to university and finish out his eligibility.

Being drafted by the CFL doesn't preclude him from sigining with any other league but given that his dad was a CFL star I suspect I will be watching him play for my Alouettes in a couple of years from now.

I guess I knew he was fast, but never thought he had the physical tools to play at the next level. I have never seen him as an elite player for UND, am I wrong or is this surprising to others too.
