Over the past few seasons, the Minnesota Vikings have taken an interest in some players who spent time in the Canadian Football League. Vikings wide receiver Brandon Zylstra is a product of the CFL and the one of the few with experience in the league to make an actual NFL roster this year.
Minnesota has also had a cup of coffee in the recent past with a few other players that spent time in the CFL including Terrell Sinkfield, Emmanuel Arceneaux, Roderick Williams, Brian Peters, Simoni Lawrence, and Duron Carter.
Some guy named Bud Grant got his start in the CFL too before becoming the head coach of the Vikings in 1967.
