The CFL Invitational Combine took place today, Friday, March 6th in Waterloo, Ont. It is the initial stage in the CFL draft process and features athletes from school across Canada, as well as NCAA schools in the US. Athletes participate in physical testing drills, and also do 1 on 1's and special teams drills.  

The Rams had three participants: linebacker Colin McKellar, defensive lineman Anthony Montas Leipert, and offensivelineman Riley Schick. Here's how they tested:

 Colin McKellar 

Bench Press: 29 

40-yard dash: 4.80 

Vertical (in): 29  

Broad jump: 9'4 1/2" 

3-cone: 7.21 

Shuttle: 4.38 

After participating in the East-West bowl last year, McKellar improved his numbers in every single test. His 29 bench press reps were tied for second overall in the combine and were first among linebackers. He was fourth amongst linebackers in the 3-cone, and fifth in the 40-yard dash, broad jump, and shuttle. 

Anthony Montas Leipert 

Bench Press: 21 

40-yard dash: 4.97 

Vertical (in): 24  

Broad jump: 8'6 3/8" 

3-cone: 7.64 

Shuttle: 4.59 
 

Leipert finished with the fastest 3-cone and second fastest shuttle in the defensive line group. He also had the second-fastest 40-yard dash time and finished top five in the bench press at the position. 

Riley Schick 

Bench Press: 17 

40-yard dash: 5.68 

Vertical (in): 23 

Broad jump: 7'6 3/4" 

3-cone: 8.34 

Shuttle: 5.09 

Schick also participated in the 2025 East-West Bowl and was in front of CFL scouts once again. He was top five at his position in the vertical jump, 3-cone, and shuttle.

CFL scouts will now shift their focus to the National Combine, which runs from March 27-29 in Edmonton and will feature Rams defensive back Carson Sombach and offensive lineman Ethan Graham.  

The CFL draft will take place on April 28 at 7:00 p.m. ET.
