While that is true, not every single guy cut in the NFL could make it, a lot of them would be able to. Especially most of the guys BCWWF listed since they where "stars" in respective programs back in college. It comes down to talent, usually if a player was good enough to get a shot in the NFL i'd be pretty confident in saying he'd have a real good shot at making it in the CFL. Unless he was wrongly scouted by the NFL (Which does happen a good amount of time) the odds of a cut NFL player being able to play in the CFL would be great. The different style would require an adjustment period but I think the NFL style athletes would be able to adapat.
The only way I can see Ricky Williams not doing well is if he is not interested in changing his style, which I could see happening since he is eyeing a return to the NFL next season. This post isn't a knock on the CFL at all though because the CFL is no joke, it is a real good leauge with a lot of talent. It is just that the players in the NFL are so good that those cut are still really really good football players, if you look in the past of players with success in the CFL compaired to their "failures" in the NFL it is pretty evident.
