Bunkley - In Denver

Jordan - Played in a 3-4 at Cal
Tom Johnson - I think he played in a 3-4 in Canada.

So Lofton and Wilson haven't, and I'm not sure about Galette.

Johnson played on Calgary and they ran a 4-3, although CFL uses 12 defenders so it's a 4-3-5 scheme. I don't know for sure if he played 3-4 in college or elsewhere though. I think Will Herring played it as well and of course Vilma in a limited role.

In some of the CFL footage I've seen on TJ they were lining up with a 3-man front with him as one of the DEs (or was it 3 DTs), but there were only couple of clips where I saw that, so I don't know how often they did that...?

And yeah, Herring came from that Seattle system where they had a 3-4.
