Scott Connot is a perfect example- his play overseas is proving he knows how to get to the ball and that translates well to the NFL.
Again- I'm not saying any of these guys are immediate starters, but they CAN be contributors....
Let's put it this way- why the ***** would the NFL teams send these guys, and pay these guys to challenge for a spot in the NFL if, by your terms- they have no chance? Seems like a lot of wasted money to me....

Where did I say they had no chance? You're just making sh*t up.
Maybe you should read my posts again. I never said anyone "had no chance". All I said was that I was tempering my optimism because of the quality of players he's up against. I said in my very first post that I hoped he could contirbute on special teams.
NFLE players are not of the same caliber as NFL players. Period. Therefore, IMO, production against NFLE players doesn't necessarily translate to production int the NFL.
In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's rare that it carries over to the NFL. Go to nfleurope.com and look at the stats leaders going back to 2001. Recognize any names? Very few. So for the last 4 years, out of all of these guys that excelled in NFLE, there is barely anyone that has succeeded in the NFL. I rest my case.
