Schoen doesn't have the quickness like those guys. He's close, but in that environment close isnt good enough. I'm not saying he wouldn't succeed in the NFL, I'm just saying i understand why he isn't in the NFL. 

He does though. He might be quicker than kupp. That was the same knock on all 3. And frankly he is the best tester out of all 3 by a lot.

Not to the point of harassing people like Lyle Bauer in the way that he did which became very, very personal.. At first, it may have been amusing. Then it became strange like he was obsessed with Bauer. Nate has been banned almost everywhere on CFL social media. I think Nate has a couple of screws loose inside his head.

Loneliness will lead people to doing weird things.   We see lots of similar behaviour online these days with how easy it is for people to contact/connect with people in the eye of the public.  

I assume Nate had a bad mixture of being lonely and being narcissitic.

Would like to see if a player leaves to go to nfl that if he returns to cfl within the duration of his former contract that he must return to the cfl team and fulfill it.

 I can 't see Wilson lasting in the nfl but can't blame him for taking a shot

The Jets are kind of a **** show tho. They really just have G Wilson and that’s it cuz Adam’s and AR are done there. Think O Wilson might have a shot there.

Isn't that the case already?

That's exactly how it is.  If he comes back to CFL he comes back to Bombers until end of his current CFL contract.

If you watch any NCAA bowl game there's 2-3 guys per game better than a guy like Wilson.  He'd do pretty good to make it through OTA's and into August.  The NFL is completely saturated at receiver and he doesn't really have a way to make the game roster unless he's one of the top 3 receivers on a team.

Anyone really think he'll last down there or he's nothing more than training camp fodder for the Jets? I think he'll be back but we'll have to sign him as other CFL teams will jump when he's cut.

Nope...early cut if he even makes main camp...he's a nickle a dozen in the meat grinder

Schoen has the testing numbers...but in the NFL he had 2 strikes originally...walk on...Un drafted...then added his 3rd strike being a CFL invite..just way nfl works

Yup...they will likely draft 2 guys better...plus any free agent pickup...I bet he doesn't last in main camp long if he even makes it to camp
