Three players have been added to the National Combine as a result of their performance at the Western Regional Combine: WRs William Watson and Justin Buren, as well as RB Tanner Green.
https://www.cfl.ca/2018/03/22/extend...tern-regional/From a numbers standpoint, Buren had arguably the best performance in Winnipeg. His 36.5-inch vertical was second to Manitoba receiver Stephen Ugbah (37.5 inches), while Buren’s broad jump of 10’7.00″ was tops among all participants. Buren, a native of Coquitlam, B.C., also led all receivers and defensive backs with 15 reps on the bench press.
In the afternoon the focus shifted to the highly-anticipated 40-yard dash, a test of explosiveness and straight-line speed. Watson won the race to the lowest 40 with a 4.71, with Buren close behind at 4.73 as the pass-catchers led the way.
In addition to the fastest 40, Watson also had the day’s best three-cone with a 7.06 — well ahead of defensive back Brooks Falloon (7.15) and receiver Dallas Boath (7.16). ...
A year after impressing scouts in the U SPORTS East-West Bowl, Watson was one of the top names going into Thursday’s showcase — and he delivered as advertised.
While his 2017 season was limited to three games, Watson earned the East-West Bowl invite after a 2016 campaign in which he hauled in 42 passes (sixth in Canada West) for 507 yards and six touchdowns. Watson also put his speed to good use as a returner that year, logging five kick returns for 90 yards and five punts for 15 yards.
