Dolphins’ Pro Bowl DE Cameron Wake endorses CFL experience

If anyone knows it’s not easy making it in the NFL, it is Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Wake.

After winning Defensive Player of the Year two years in a row, NFL teams came calling and the rest is history.

With fellow defensive end Michael Sam making national headlines for his decision to go to the CFL to try to boost his playing career, Wake is living proof that playing in Canada can be a bridge to the NFL.

Wake signed with the Dolphins in 2009 and has gone on to become a four-time Pro Bowl selection and one of the team’s best players of the past decade.

As Wake proved early in his career, if Sam is a dominant player in Canada, that could generate interest from NFL teams.
