"Quick -- who was the starting quarterback for the Florida Gators during their 2006 national championship run?
No, it wasn't Tim Tebow -- that team's starting quarterback was Chris Leak. A high school wunderkind out of Charlotte, Leak steered the '06 Gators to a 13-1 season that culminated in a 41-14 thrashing of Ohio State for the national crown.
While Tebow's now in the NFL as a rookie in Denver, Leak is a backup in the Canadian Football League for the defending Grey Cup-champion Montreal Alouettes.
"It's a definite culture shock, but you come to appreciate learning different cultures," Leak said. "You get used to it and you embrace it."
