With the start of another CFL season, every player knows they have a chance to be great.

How could they not? Months of training, constantly wondering about all the variables to come and now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in Week 1 means it’s time to put vision to action.

In a time of increasing national pride, Canadian players across the league have to feel an extra boost of responsibility, joy and maybe even nerves as they know the microscope will be on any player with a maple leaf next to their name in the starting lineup.

While the Grey Cup remains the ultimate goal regardless of national affiliation, the All-CFL designation is a mark of individual performance and plenty of Canadians are ready to challenge for that accolade. Here are my top 10 hopefuls who should make the grade by end of season.
