Skill position players with national designations can thrive in the CFL.
Just look at Brad Sinopoli, Andrew Harris and Jerome Messam, who all put up 1,000-yard seasons in 2015. Teams will be trying to find the next great Canadian playmakers in the 2016 CFL Draft.
Scouts say the receiver class is deep with many different types. And there might be a feature running back within the group.
There were changes in the ranks based on what happened at the CFL Combine.
WR Brett Blaszko, Calgary
Hometown: Burlington, Ont.
Stock: Up ⬆
Speed and size are two traits that jump out about the rangy receiver. Blaszko has a frame that he could grow into as a pro – intriguing potential.
WR Jamal Kett, Western
Hometown: Orangeville, Ont.
Stock: Down ⬇
Making it through from the Toronto Regional to the National Combine proved Kett possesses some pro traits. However, he needs to work on route running and being a smoother-moving athlete.
WR Doug Corby, Queen’s 
Hometown: Burlington, Ont.
Stock: Up ⬆
Scouts like how Corby steadily increased his production at the CIS level each year with the Gaels because it means that he could have a high ceiling. A 4.50-second 40 pushed him up the charts.
WR Felix Faubert-Lussier, Laval 
Hometown: Montreal
Stock: Up ⬆
Versatile, athletic and strong might best describe Faubert-Lussier. He’s one of the most dynamic players in the draft who will contribute on special teams and can line up as a receiver or H-back.
WR George Johnson, Western
Hometown: London, Ont.
Stock: Down ⬇
Once the testing results came in, it was clear Johnson’s lack of explosiveness put him at the bottom of the receiver group who attended the combine.
WR Brian Jones, Acadia
Hometown: Enfield, N.S.
Stock: Up ⬆
Jones was the No. 1 star of the CFL Combine. He proved to be ultra athletic for his size – 6-foot-4, 233 pounds. Personnel men are dubbing Jones as a “rare” Canadian talent, which is not a term thrown around loosely.
WR Mike Jones, Southern
Hometown: Toronto
Stock: Up ⬆
When you watch Jones run routes he glides around the field smoothly with easy speed. He knows how to set up defensive backs to win in one-on-one matchups and that extra gear makes him extremely dangerous.
WR Llevi Noel, Windsor AKO
Hometown: Toronto
Stock: Up ⬆
Physically Noel looks ready to compete in the CFL. He’s a polished receiver who has a lot of experience on special teams. That means he can learn a pro offence while supplying a team with an instant impact player on specials.
WR Shaquille Johnson, Western
Hometown: Brampton, Ont.
Stock: Up ⬆
After blazing a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, Johnson garnered lots of attention from talent evaluators. He oozes athleticism and really improved his stock through the regional combine process.
WR Joshua Stanford, Kansas 
Hometown: Mississauga, Ont.
Stock: Down ⬇
Stanford entered the combine with a chance to put himself in the first round conversation, but his antics at the event got him dropped way down, if not off, numerous draft boards.
RB Devon Stewart, McGill
Hometown: St. Hubert, Que.
Stock: Down ⬇
Slowest running back at the National Combine is a title you don’t want to have. Although, Stewart did prove he’s strong and can block.
RB Donald Tabor, St. Francis Xavier
Hometown: Dartmouth, N.S.
Stock: Up ⬆
Tabor has some thickness and he moves well for his size – classic CFL fullback body type.
RB Wayne Moore, McMaster
Hometown: Etobicoke, Ont.
Stock: Up ⬆
Moore’s physicality was evident in pass protection with a strong session blocking linebackers in one-on-ones. If he can get used to life as a fullback teams will covet his services.
RB Mercer Timmis, Calgary 
Hometown: Burlington, Ont.
Stock: Down ⬇
Even Timmis himself said he expected to put forth a better performance at the combine. That said, the Calgary Dinos product is still the No. 1 Canadian tailback prospect in the 2016 class.
RB Nathan O’Halloran, Windsor
Hometown: Amherstburg, Ont.
Stock: Up ⬆
The gritty fullback displayed a well-built frame and even some burst for his size. O’Halloran made scouts take notice with consistent efforts at the Toronto Regional and National Combine.
