EDMONTON — The final results have rolled in from Commonwealth Stadium, as the testing portion of the CFL Combine presented by New Era has completed.
Prospects completed the vertical jump on Thursday morning with Bishop’s defensive back Jake Kelly nabbing the highest vertical with a 40.5-inch leap. Global players controlled the top of the bench press, with four of them landing in the top five. Defensive linemen Max Parkinson (Great Britain) and Blessman Ta’ala (American Samoa) led the way on the bench with 29 reps each.
In the afternoon session, Invitational Combine invitee Gabriel Appiah-Kubi had the fastest 40-yard dash with a 4.44 second run (Note: Appiah-Kubi’s time was verified and updated from an earlier reporting error). The York receiver also landed in the top five of the shuttle (4.20) and broad (10′ 9 1/4″).
