Cameron Wake had a good career at Penn State, but he went undrafted in 2005.  He received a tryout with the New York Giants but was unable to make the team.  Rather than give up, Wake found work in the Canadian Football League with the BC Lions, where he was a two-time All-Star and two-time Most Outstanding Defensive Player in as many years.  His work in Canada made him coveted by NFL teams, and he signed with the Miami Dolphins in 2009.
