Elliott Brown signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals in January after two seasons with the Edmonton Elks .

The 27-year-old American spent last week participating in the CFL mentorship program.

The program provides a behind-the-scenes look at the business of the game and potential opportunities after football.

“Oh man, the confidence, the speed of the game, the love of the game,” he said. “The coaching, for sure, getting familiar with other players, everything, it has been just amazing. “If I could take the ball with me, I would. But one thing I definitely won’t miss (about CFL ) is the yard off the ball.”.
