Fifteen Canadians will suit up at NFL Training Camps next week, including three with the Indianapolis Colts.

Scarborough's Clifton Dawson, who broke Harvard's all-time rushing record in 2006, saw action in 13 games with the Colts last season (rusing for 64 yards and 1 TD) and hopes to move up the depth chart this season.

Dan Federkeil (OL) and Sam Giguere (WR) will round out the Canadian content at Colts camp next week. Federkeil, a former defensive lineman with the CIS Calgary Dinos, hopes to earn a regular spot as a backup offensive tackle with the Colts after spending much of the past two seasons on the practice roster.

Giguere, another diamond in the rough from the CIS (Sherbrooke), was an undrafted free agent and is a long shot to crack the roster.
