Whoa, Canada? Josh Freeman tries to resurrect once-promising career with the CFL’s Alouettes

VERO BEACH — The white van came to a stop in front of Field No. 2 on Don Drysdale Drive.

Six quarterbacks hoping to earn a job with the Montreal Alouettes emptied the vehicle, changed into their cleats in the metal bleachers, and walked onto the outfield of this makeshift football practice field for a passing camp at Dodgertown.

This is where the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers warmed up their arms for spring training for 60 years until leaving for Arizona in 2008. The Alouettes have come here for the rebirth of their season.

For Josh Freeman, it's likely the final chance to resuscitate his once-promising career.
