WINNIPEG — Nathaniel Dumoulin-Duguay doesn’t have any problem with football coaches yelling instructions or criticism.
The offensive lineman out of Laval University spent almost a year in the Canadian Army and says basic training included long days starting at 4 a.m. and military personnel barking out orders.
When the CFL Scouting Bureau released its winter draft rankings in January, Dumoulin-Duguay was listed at No. 18. The spring edition comes out in early April. Former CFL coach, general manager and current TSN analyst Jim Barker watched the prospects and talked to Dumoulin-Duguay. He played senior football while taking the courses and his coach convinced him to return to the game instead. He went to Laval, but a high-ankle sprain limited him to four games in 2021. He played all eight games the following season, winning the Vanier Cup as national champions and being named a U Sports first-team all-Canadian.
“The tests I’ve done during the combine, I think that went pretty well,” he said. “I’m very happy with that, so it shows the CFL teams that I’m ready for the big league.”Barker said the combine revealed teams have good options for the draft, particularly if they’re looking for a linebacker with some pro experience such as Joel Dublanko.
