Rouge et Or linebacker Frederick Plesius was smiling Monday, when he was invited a mini-camp evaluation for the Philadelphia Eagles of National Football League (NFL). The camp will take place the next weekend.
“This is great news! I’m really happy because I will have the chance to compete with the best. I’m excited and I can not wait to show them what I can do, “said number Plesius, who could become the first athlete Laval program to play in the NFL. Sebastien Sejean had an agreement with the St. Louis Rams in 2008, but he never took part in an official game, and his role was limited to the practice squad.
“I spoke with coach Jim Washburn defensive line, which showed my video highlights to his colleagues last Friday, “specified Plesisus who is 6’1” and 240 pounds, which finally received the long awaited call Monday.
Laval Head coach Glen Constantine was obviously delighted with this news. “I’m obviously very happy. He deserves all the credit. I did not understand why he was selected as late at the Canadian League draft, he has the size and ability to operate in the NFL. He will have his chance, now he must work hard to grasp, “commented Glen Constantin, who was heading towards London to coach at the CIS East West Bowl Saturday. Plesius must report to the Eagles camp on Friday. The minicamp is on Saturday and Sunday.
