The majority of the testing and evaluating will take place over the weekend.

On Saturday the players' will be tested physically as they tackle the bench press (225 lbs.) as well as testing their leaping abilities in the vertical jump drill at the Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport.

On Sunday, the tests move on the field at the Varsity Centre located in downtown Toronto on University of Toronto Campus. Players will put their speed and agility to the test during 40-yard dash, three-cone drill, short shuttle and broad jump.

Following the testing portion, the players will suit up and participate in individual drills followed by one-on-ones against the other top prospects.

For the fourth-straight year, CFL.ca will provide exclusive live coverage of the #CFLCombine.  CFL.ca analysts Justin Dunk and Don Landry bring you two days of coverage of the two premier events at Combine, the Bench Press and the 40-Yard Dash.  They will also be joined by a series of guests that include Toronto Argonauts GM Jim Barker, BC Lions Director of CIS Scouting and former receiver Geroy Simon and TSN's Duane Forde to provide insight into the scouting process.
