rest - https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...t-back-to-nfl/Five years ago, quarterback Paxton Lynch entered the NFL as a first-round pick of the defending Super Bowl champions in Denver. Now, he’s gone north of the border, up Saskatechewan way.
Lynch made his debut on Monday in the CFL, at Roughriders training camp.
“It’s been difficult,” Lynch said of the transition to the Canadian game, via John Hodge of 3downnation.com. “A lot of the pre-snap stuff has been a big adjustment for me. When you break it all down and get down to the core of it, it’s really football — it’s the same, just different terminology and things like that concept-wise.”
It also entails a greater sense of urgency on every drive, because the CFL gives teams three chances to cover 10 yards, not four. Lynch, happy where he is, nevertheless wants to get back to the NFL.
