Japanese draftees ready for challenge of CFL training camp

Jun 27, 2021
A total of six Japanese players were chosen in the Canadian Football League’s April draft, but none are declaring victory after having only earned a flight to North America.
All must now fight to make the active rosters of their respective teams by putting on strong preseason performances.
The 2021 CFL season was originally slated to start on June 10, but that start was pushed back to Aug. 5 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The players will depart for Canada next week ahead of the start of training camp on July 10.
The regular season will start on Aug. 5 and each team will play 14 games – four fewer than the usual schedule. It will be the league’s first action since November 2019 after the 2020 season was canceled as a result of the pandemic.
