B.C. Lions receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux has worked out for six NFL teams, and is expected to meet with the Seattle Seahawks next week.

At a recent tryout with the Chicago Bears, Arceneaux shocked the scouts and coaching staff by running an amazing 4.4 in the 40-yard dash. The Bears were impressed with Arceneaux’s speed, considering his size.

According to his agent, Bardi Ghahremani, Arceneaux has ran between 4.4 and 4.5 in most of his NFL workouts. Ghahremani as well said that the CFL star receiver is more concerned with having a legit opportunity to make an NFL team than money.

Arceneaux is expected to sign with a NFL team in January, but if he decides to stay in the CFL, he has an offer from the Lions on the table.
