As far as I can tell, the NFL focuses just as heavily, if not more, than the CFL does on combine and test results. Maybe someone in one of those leagues will deviate from this at some point by suggesting that how fast a guy runs a straight line for 40 yards without pads or pursuers is only of marginal value in determining how well he'll play football. But I don't think the CFL is any more guilty of this thinking than the NFL. It's been endemic in pro football for at least 40 years. There seems little point in complaining about it, any more than there is in complaining that slight players seldom get a real shot in hockey, or short guys in basketball. There are always exceptions, but the pro leagues have what they think of as ideal body types, weight-lifting ability etc., and rarely deviate from this. It would take a team both doing so and succeeding by going outside the box for this to change.
