22 (3) Winnipeg Blue Bombers — Ayo Oyelola, LB, United Kingdom
A great coverage linebacker from the British College ranks, Oyelola is another player in the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program program.
He didn’t run well for scouts at his pro day, potentially due to injury, but he’s a lot faster on the field and can be a tremendous special teamer if he falls in the CFL’s lap.
