TORONTO (March 20, 2023) – The top national and global prospects are set to showcase their skills at this year’s CFL Combine presented by New Era at Commonwealth Stadium Field House in Edmonton from March 22-26. This year’s event will be the first to feature the revamped five-day format.
Day One will see players take part in medical testing and measurements, and Day Two will include traditional on- and off-field testing, including the 40-yard dash, the bench press and more.
As part of the revamped format, Days Three to Five will be designated for practice sessions involving individual drills and one-on-ones that have been conducted in years past, as well as, several new additions, including the pass skeleton and inside run sessions. CFL coaches will be leading positional groups, and installing offences and defences.
Media members are also invited to take part in a series of virtual media availabilities with the league’s general managers and head coaches from noon to 3 p.m. MT on March 21.
