      Dave Dickinsen was the Canadian QB the Bolts signed and took a chance on. He did not make it.

      Jeff Garcia was about 6 foot and he played in Canada I think?

          He famously blew up a blocking sled!

          Looked like the next big thing.
          First play in preseason (or was it the regular season?), he fell flat on his face without being touched.

          I think he turned himself into a half way decent backup near the end of his Charger stay

            6 foot & 2/10s of an inch. He probably still is.

              I'm not Canadian but I have a strong connection to Canada and many Canadian friends.

                  He was the Jamaican who's boyhood dream was to play pro hockey, but at 6'4" and 300+ lbs the chances were slim.

                    Glad to see that D'Andre Hopkins is expected to sign a 2 year deal with a club OUTSIDE the AFC West.

                    Titans expected to sign WR DeAndre Hopkins to two-year, $26 million deal (nfl.com)

                        He had to run barefoot for eight months to build up enough calluses on his feet to get to be over 6 feet tall.

                        Hacksaw said so! (Hacksaw ran barefoot for two blocks to reach 5'6".)

                          Hopkins said he wanted to sign with a team that has a top young QB, so....he signed with the Titans?
