CFL combine looks a lot different than when Winnipeg Blue Bombers coach Mike O’Shea was a participant
The CFL combine has come a long way since Mike O’Shea auditioned for league officials.
But the Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach is in Alberta’s capital for this week’s 2023 combine, where 67 Canadian university players and 21 Globals will audition before CFL officials. The league’s Global and Canadian drafts are both May 2.“Well, we’re not feeding them Big Macs in between drills,” O’Shea, a 2017 inductee into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, said with a chuckle. “And working out at the soccer dome, jumping up and doing the vertical against an I-beam with chalk on your finger.
“But, ‘Hey, here’s some cinder blocks, throw them around for a bit and then run around on a slippery field and do your best.’ I’d like to see that to. Put them in a tough, stressful situation.” “I think it’s a great thing any time we get to see more of these athletes being coached, see how well they do with coaching doing football-related drills,” said Montreal head coach Jason Maas. “I think you get to see that learning curve [of] what guys know.”
“Obviously the interview will be part of the process here, just to see how they handle themselves a head coach and football operations people where it could be rapid fire in terms of questions. You just get a more accurate reading of what you see on film and if it transfers to the weekend. It’s not the end-all, be-all but it definitely is an indicator of maybe what we see on film.”
