Garcia isn't Canadian, but he did play in the CFL.

Jerome Pathon is another.

Davis Sanchez plays in MTL and played for the Chargers I believe, so I guess it's a typo

Jerome Pathon is another.

Jerome Pathon WR for the Saints? He was born in South Africa I thought. Anyway isnt Ricky Ray QB for the Jets from Canada?

Maybe he was born in South Africa and raised in Canada, much like many athletes (examples from hockey being Dany Heatley born in Germany)

Because he's always mentioned as being one of the lone Canadian NFL'ers.

Pathon may have been but as far as I know he considers himself Canadian. I remember in a game against Seattle I believe he was quite happy to be close to home where his family was.

There are more Germans coming into the league now, look 11th pick Reggie Williams. Born in Germany so maybe NFL will turn into somewhat European. :dunno:

Nutten was born in Germany, but learned how to play football in Canada. He was actually a #1 overall CFL draft pick (by Hamilton).

Not Canadian, but came from the CFL. So he's in the same boat as Garcia.


Now just look at the opportunity I left open here :D

If you're talking about the 9th pick, Reggie Williams, he was born on an American military base, but raised in Washington.
