Two athletes from north of the border, <strong data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"710\">Jesse Lumsden and Kerry Carter<\/strong>, arrived in Ashburn, Virginia with one shared goal: to earn a spot on an NFL roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"797\" data-end=\"957\">While the idea of Canadians in NFL training camps might once have sounded like a punchline, Lumsden and Carter prove the tide is turning. And they\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"959\" data-end=\"1014\">The Growing Presence of Canadian Players in the NFL<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1410\">Though often under the radar, Canadian players have been steadily making their mark in the NFL. That year alone, there were Canadian players on several rosters: <strong data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1235\">Mike Vanderjagt and Louis-Philippe Ladouceur in Dallas<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1284\">Brett Romberg and Rob Meier in Jacksonville<\/strong>, and <strong data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1319\">O.J. Atogwe with the Rams<\/strong>. Add Jesse Lumsden and Kerry Carter to the list, and it\u2019s clear there\u2019s a pattern forming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1412\" data-end=\"1628\">The increase isn\u2019t just luck &#8211; it\u2019s the result of a more fluid relationship between the NFL and the CFL. The Canadian Football League has become a legitimate stepping stone for players seeking a second shot at the NFL.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1683\">Lumsden\u2019s Versatility Could Earn Him a Spot<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"1992\">A former standout at McMaster University and star in the CIS, <strong data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"1764\">Jesse Lumsden<\/strong> brings a mix of size, speed, and athleticism. In another system, he might have slotted in as an H-back. Under new offensive coordinator Al Saunders, Lumsden will likely compete for reps at fullback, behind veteran Mike Sellers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"1992\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/uth-jesse-lumsden.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15701\" src=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/uth-jesse-lumsden.jpg\" alt=\"Jesse Lumsden and Kerry Carter are at Redskins Camp\" width=\"600\" height=\"905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/uth-jesse-lumsden.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/uth-jesse-lumsden-331x500.jpg 331w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1994\" data-end=\"2216\">What sets Lumsden apart is his <strong data-start=\"2025\" data-end=\"2040\">versatility<\/strong>\u2014he can run, block, return kicks, and contribute on special teams.

Washington\u2019s coaching staff, particularly special teams coordinator Danny Smith, is looking for toughness and reliability in that unit. Carter checks both boxes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2541\" data-end=\"2680\">If he impresses in preseason play, Carter could fill an immediate need for a team that struggled with consistency on special teams in 2005.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2682\" data-end=\"2716\">Jonta Woodard\u2019s CFL Connection<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2718\" data-end=\"2963\">There\u2019s even a third player with Canadian ties\u2014<strong data-start=\"2765\" data-end=\"2782\">Jonta Woodard<\/strong>, an American lineman who played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL.
