The CFL National Combine kicked off today at the Commonwealth Fieldhouse in Edmonton, and two Regina Rams are among those showing off their skills in front of CFL teams. Offensive lineman Ethan Graham and defensive back Carson Sombach took part in athletic testing today.

Heres how they fared:



Ethan Graham
Bench Press: 20
40-yard dash: 5.36
Vertical (in): 25
Broad jump: 8'9 1/4"
3-cone: 8.1
Shuttle: 5.13
 
Graham finished near the top at his position in numerous categories. He finished third in the broad jump, sixth in the 3-cone, and sixth among offensive linemen in the 40-yard dash.
 


Carson Sombach
Bench Press: 14
40-yard dash: 4.74
Vertical (in): 31
Broad jump: 9'8 1/2"
3-cone: 7.00
Shuttle: 4.19
 
Sombach also finished near the top of his group in multiple categories. He benched the third most reps out of all defensive backs. He was also tied for sixth overall and third among DB's in both the 3-cone and the shuttle.

The events continue on Saturday and Sunday, with practice sessions, individual drills, and one-on-ones on the schedule. These sessions will be led by current CFL coaches, including two Rams alumni.

Josh Donnelly is an Offensive Assistant for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and he is coaching the quarterbacks. Danny Nesbitt is a Defensive Quality Control coach for the Edmonton Elks and is coaching the linebackers.

CFL teams will also get the chance to sit down for 1-on-1 interviews with prospects before the CFL draft, which will take place on April 28.
