My brothers friend brother just now got invited to the B.C. Lions but he is still in college.?

Is that strange?

My brothers friend brother just now got invited to the B.C. Lions but he is still in college.?
Could be to see how he plays. An invite doesn't neccessarily mean a tryout. Same thing happened to a friend of mine's son. He had been drafted by BC as well and attended 2 training camps while he was still in university. He plays for them now, but was just being exposed to a pro training camp and receiving additional coaching.
Reply:If he's Canadian (or considered a Canadian under CFL rules, which doesn't always mean being a Canadian citizen), then no, it's not usual. CFL teams are able to draft Canadian players who still have college eligibility left.
Reply:why would that be strange if he is a good player than he should get invited to play football, no matter what school he is in sports are more important
