CFL NATIONAL COMBINE: Ackie & Archambault shine (DAY 1 RESULTS)

ACKIE CLAIMS BOTH VERTICAL AND BROAD JUMP EVENTS AT THE NATIONAL CFL COMBINE

Universite de Montreal linebacker Byron Archambault benches second most ever with 41

TORONTO – On the opening day of the National CFL Combine presented by Reebok, the top-50 prospects in Canada had their strength and jumping ability tested.

In the morning segment, bench press was the lone event where Montreal Carabins’ linebacker, Byron Archambault impressed by setting a new linebacker mark by recording 41 bench reps of 225 pounds. The 41 reps he notched also placed the Montreal, Que. native second on the all-time CFL Combine list, only trailing Michael Krill’s 47 reps set in 2011.

Moving to the afternoon portion, Wilfrid Laurier defensive back, Chris Ackie shined. The Cambridge, Ont. native set the standard in both jumping events where he registered a record setting 10’11.50″ broad jump measurement, as well as finishing the day with the highest vertical with 40″.
