The Canadian Football League is becoming a who's who of wide receivers who were busts in the NFL draft.
Charles Rogers, the former No. 2 overall pick of the Lions who stands as the worst pick of the Matt Millen era (and that's saying something), is now in the CFL. David Boston, the former No. 8 overall pick of the Cardinals who showed great promise early in his career but was derailed by injuries, off-field problems and steroid suspensions, is now in the CFL.
And now comes word via PFT that Peter Warrick, the former No. 4 overall pick of the Bengals, is signing with the Montreal Alouettes.
Warrick was a great talent at Florida State who showed flashes in the NFL but fell far short of expectations. In the CFL, with its bigger field, I could see him using some of his trademark speed and shiftiness to make a real impact. Unfortunately, Warrick is about to turn 31, and if he still had the speed and shiftiness he was known for in Tallahassee, he wouldn't be headed to Montreal.
