Canadian drafted in first round of NFL draft
Offensive lineman Danny Watkins was picked 23rd overall by the Philadelphia Eagles during Thursday night’s NFL draft becoming just the fourth Canadian to ever be selected in the first round.

The 26-year-old from Kelowna, B.C., accomplished the feat despite only starting his football career four years ago at Butte College in northern California. After two years at Butte he earned a scholarship at Baylor University in Waco, Tex.

1. Don Cherry has been trumpeting this for days
Good to see. Though I am not a big football fan these outcomes can't hurt Canada's profile with Uncle Sam.

I guess that shows that I don't pay any attention to Don Cherry.
