They're the glamour events of any football combine but neither the bench press nor the 40-yard dash are major points of emphasis in Chris Jones's evaluation of a pro prospect.
Show us what you got! The CFL Combine is taking place in Winnipeg this week with over 70 CFL hopefuls undergoing fitness assessments and drills. Commissioner Randy Ambroise joins Global News Morning to discuss the impact of the Combine and the future of the league.They’re the glamour events of any football combine but neither the bench press nor the 40-yard dash are major points of emphasis in Chris Jones’s evaluation of a pro prospect.
“If football matters that much to them … then many times that translates into what we’re going to look for in a player.”Among the combine participants will be linebacker Joel Dublanko and quarterback Casey Bauman, both Americans who are draft-eligible because of a Canadian parent.
Three of the four ranked receivers — Bemidji State’s Dhel Duncan-Busby , Garden City’s Ajou Ajou and Laval’s Kevin Mital — will test. Auburn’s Nick Mardner won’t.
