\u201cCalgary has been tremendous in our preparations for this year\u2019s Grey Cup \u2013 from the Stampeders organization through to fan engagement and the vibe across Alberta\u2019s entire football community,\u201d said Greg Dick, the CFL\u2019s chief football operations officer and head of Grey Cup and Events.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrey Cup to our professional athletes is like CFL Combine to our Canadian prospects. We can\u2019t wait to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime experience to our athletes in the Class of 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n

On March 11, prospects, general managers, and head coaches will be made available to the media.<\/p>\n

That evening, there will be a Coach of the Year celebration at which the Annis Stukus Award, Ted Goveia Football Operations Award, and the Hugh Campbell Distinguished Leadership Award will be presented to their respective winners.<\/p>\n

On March 12, prospects will take part in the forty-yard dash, three-cone drill, short shuttle, broad and vertical jumps, and the bench press.<\/p>\n

On March 13, prospects will wear pads for individual and team-based practices and drills.<\/p>\n

The event will include exclusive live streams of testing sessions and practices on YouTube.<\/p>\n

The 2027 CFL Combine will be preceded by the CFL Invitational Combine in Waterloo, Ont. on February 26.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to host the CFL Combine in Calgary for the first time in our history,\u201d said Stampeders president Jay McNeil.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event will help keep football top-of-mind during the off-season while showcasing our city as one of Canada\u2019s great football communities. Most importantly, it creates an opportunity to inspire young athletes and shine a national spotlight on the incredible amateur football programs across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
