Collin Klein heads to Canada

Klein

Vince Young may not want to go to Canada to continue his football career. Ditto for Tim Tebow.

Collin Klein has no such qualms.

The former Kansas State star, who was undrafted and overlooked by the NFL last season, has signed a two-year deal with the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes.

He joins former NFL receiver Chad Johnson, who signed with the Alouettes last week.

Klein was invited last year to the Texans’ rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, the Texans liked Klein -- but not enough to sign him to the 90-man offseason roster. He has refused to consider playing other positions. The CFL will give him a chance to show that he can play quarterback at the professional level.
