Western Ontario running back Keon Edwards looking to prove himself at CFL combine
The Western Ontario running back certainly earned his chance to audition before CFL coaches, general managers and scouts this week in Edmonton.
“Growing up I was never highly ranked,” Edwards said. “I’m the type of guy [who’s] going to be quiet and work on his own, then try to fight his way out. Ottawa’s Lake Korte-Moore, a 6-foot-5, 262-pound defensive lineman at British Columbia, will be the combine’s top-ranked Canadian. He was No. 10 on the winter list but the nine players above him, who all played in the NCAA, aren’t attending.
On Friday, players will participate in the first of three straight on-field practices at Commonwealth Stadium Field House. Each will not only feature individual drills and on-on-one testing but CFL coaches leading positional groups and installing offences and defences.“I know the combine is what they like to see from us,” he said. “But from a football [perspective], I just think I’m able to show the best of my abilities [in practices].
“He’s a complete back,” said Montreal Alouettes GM Danny Maciocia. “He can pass protect, he can catch the ball coming out of the backfield, he can run the inside zone, he can run the outside zone. “What I learned from him the most is just how to be a man,” Edwards said. “I learned a lot from him from the aspect of how to play back and how to make it to the next level.”
