Tell me about Jerome Messam. Good signing by the Dolphins?

Sorry Mind, I don't know. I've spent my last 8 summers working in your wonderful country and missed most of the CFL season. If he didn't play in BC, I won't know much about him.

He was a backup in BC in 2010, but hardly got any looks (23 touches and 5 catches in an 18 game season).

I will say I'm always skeptical about RBs from the CFL going to the NFL. The game is so different and RBs are probably affected the most. The Canadian game is predominantly shot gun and spread offense with only 3 downs, no one uses TEs and you virtually never see a FB so a lot of the formations he'll be running out of in the NFL he won't have run since college.

I will say he's really big for a CFL RB. usually they're the smaller, shiftier guys.
