Penn State DE Who Became an NFL All-Pro After CFL Redemption
Cameron Wake is a legendary defensive end whose college career at Penn State laid the foundation for an improbable NFL journey after being initially rejected. Though he didn’t play college football as a DE in the traditional sense due to early eligibility and position shifts, his intensity, 4.65s 40-yard dash speed, and relentless pursuit made him a stat leader in the CFL before exploding with 37.5 sacks in three NFL seasons, including a 15-sack All-Pro year with Miami. His differentiator is unmatched resilience and football IQ—turning NFL rejection into elite performance. If you need a high-intensity, sack-producing DE with proven adaptability and championship mentality, Wake is a perfect fit.
