CFL.ca Staff TORONTO — The CFL Combine is a highlight of the CFL’s off-season. It’s the time that the entire country gets know the stars of the future, as prospects go through a weekend of athletic testing and practice sessions. The drills assess the prospects’ explosiveness, agility, and speed as all eyes will be on them as they look to impress scouts, general managers, and coaches from across the country. Two of the drills stand out more than the others: the bench press and the 40-yard dash. As we wait to see who will top the rest next week in Regina, here are the best performers in both fan-favourite drills over the past five years.
