Taylor Elgersma (QB – Laurier)

Elgersma didn’t have a fantastic week by any means, but he flashed a big arm and intriguing accuracy while proving he belonged at the event. This was an outside-the-box invite for Jim Nagy and the Senior Bowl staff, but Elgersma likely opened some eyes this week. He wasn’t the best QB in Mobile, but he was far from the worst. He’s going to be a project at the NFL level, but with ideal size and arm strength and a solid showing at the Senior Bowl, teams will be taking a closer look in the coming weeks.

Mot CFL teams seem pretty set at QBs for TC - experienced and young guys; and there are a few veterans (Masoli, Prukop, Dom Davis) FAs who teams could turn to.

Can't see any of these U Sports QBs having the slightest chance to compete for real at QB in a CFL TC. And I'd wager big money on it.

Sadly OV Argo, I more or less agree with you. Here is how I currently see the CFL status of our Canadian quarterbacks.

1. Kurtis Rourke, 6-5, 231,Indiana Hoosiers – Probably will be drafted by both the NFL and the CFL. Currently recovering from surgery. Don't know if he will be ready for NFL training camp.
2. Christian Veilleux, 6-5, 209, Georgia State Panthers – Staying in school for another year. I believe he will be drafted by the CFL in 2026.
3. Taylor Elgersma, 6-6, 212, Laurier Golden Hawks – I believe he will sign as a free agent in the NFL(before the CFL draft) and will be drafted by the CFL.
4. Jackson Tachinski 6-4, 215, Manitoba Bison – Going to the Invitational Combine. I think he will impress and be invited to the main combine. I think he will go undrafted and be signed by the Blue Bombers. I think he will get cut, and will be back playing QB at Manitoba in 2025. Its too bad the Bombers can't see him as a Canadian Chris Streveler.
5. Jonathan Sénécal, 6-1,200 – Montreal Caribin – Going to the Main Combine. I think he will go undrafted and sign with Montreal. I think he will get cut and will be playing for the Caribin in 2025.
6. Arnaud Desjardins, 6-5,207 – Laval Rouge Et Or – Going to the Main Combine. Already committed to going back to Laval in 2025. Will go undrafted and won't be in any CFL camps this fall.
7. Evan Hillock, 6-3,215, Western Mustangs – Going to the Invitational Combine. Don't think he will get invited to the Main Combine. Will go undrafted and won't be in any CFL camps this fall. Will return to Western for 2025.
8. Keagan Hall, 6-5,230, McMaster Mauraders – Going to the Invitational Combine. Don't think he will get invited to the Main Combine. Will go undrafted and won't be in any CFL camps this fall. Will return to Mac for 2025. Its too bad, I think he's the second best pure passer after Elgersma in U Sports.

The Argos need a short yardage QB and sitting on their doorstep are a number of Canadian QBs who IMO, deserve a crack at filing that role. Several have the size necessary for the role and Tachinski in particular also has the running ability. But I am afraid OV is correct and these Canadian QBs are unlikely to get the opportunity. Frankly I think it is short sighted of the powers that be.
