_ If you want to make it to the NFL the better move is the C.F.L..

I doubt an NFL team would take a player based on an 8 game season. They can get a better feel for a player from the college game.

The C.F.L.'s 18 game schedule give a better indication on how well a player will hold up and produce.

On the other hand, he will have a Super Bowl coach in Jim Fassel, a former NFL starting QB in JP Losman and other NFL players in this new league. If he plays in 8 games or 18, it only tests his durability which already has few questions. If he excels in 8 or 18 games, it doesnt matter, he just has to get it done. This league will get more attention than the CFL though.

Congrats Fenroy!

  A University of Louisiana gridiron great has had a change of heart and now hopes what happens in Vegas gets him to the NFL. Tyrell Fenroy, all-time leading rusher in Louisiana collegiate history, told The Daily Advertiser over the weekend that he has agreed to terms with the Las Vegas franchise of the start-up United Football League, which begins regular season play in October. The league is so fresh, the four teams assembled thus far don’t appear to even have mascot names yet.

The announcement is a one-80 for Fenroy, who just about a week ago had agreed to terms with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. Fenroy told The Advertiser that after being drafted by Vegas, he decided he would prefer to play in the United States and be closer to family. The running back was signed to a rookie free agent contract in the spring by the NFL's Chicago Bears but was later released.

Great news! Good Luck Tyrell

Man, 4th team he's been linked with this summer now. I hope he gets a good shot to show his quality and make the team.

Also, this must be some inside info because all that the Detroit News has is that they brought him in but not signed yet:

Good for him. Hopefully he will stick around even if it is for the lowly Lions. Playing for the worst team in the NFL beats the heck out of playing in any other league!

Fenroy says he worked out with Detroit Lions on Monday but has not agreed to a contract. Hopes to hear back soon.
