Is Dressler good enough to play in the NFL, and will he get the chance?

weston reminds me of devone bess from hawaii. bess ran about a 4.55 for his 40 and doesnt have the impressive height or body size (5'10" 190lbs.) that is looked for in recievers. with that said, bess has become an NFL starter for the miami dolphins and has looked good in preseason. weston has been an ok reciever for the roughriders but his size is so much smaller than anyone in the NFL that i really dont see him being able to make it. hes a great player and he may have the tools to play in the NFL but he probably wont because of his very small size

I don't know much about dressler but would he be a good return man for a NFL team if he can't play reciever

an ok reciever for the roughriders? didnt he lead his team in yards and was rookie of the year, after missing some games?

Bess is still 3 inches taller and 10lbs bigger than Dressler. Dressler is an extremely small guy at 5'7 and 180 lbs. CFL is the perfect fit for him. The field is bigger, more passing and you get a running start. I agree that he's not going to the NFL because the db's are so much faster and bigger in the NFL.

i was just trying to find a smaller guy in the NFL that is at least a little bit successful. and compared to his competition, Bess is undersized but was successful on Sunday (7-57)

Unfortunately it may be the end of the year for Dressler as he broke his leg in the last game.
