EventsWith the 2016 CFL draft class complete, and training camps set to begin next week.
This year’s class produced a rather high amount of Laval Rouge et Or, and Western Mustangs players and small haul of Carabins draft picks. However, in 2017, the cycle could be in-favour of the defending Quebec champions and Vanier Cup finalist. (Hint: there are Carabins sprinkled).
After the annual mid-May East-West Bowl. Here are some names to keep an eye out for in preparation for the upcoming CIS season.
10) Felix Menard-Briere, Montreal, P: To the surprise of many, why would a punter be listed? The Carabins specialist has been on the radar for the last two years. For those who witnessed him kicking for both teams. He didn’t lose any leg strength. His punting is impeccable for distance, and angles. He can change a game on a dime. Just ask his head coach Danny Maciocia how valuable he has been during their Vanier Cup runs. If you don’t think punters are worthy of a high pick, ask the Calgary Stampeders when they took Rob Maver in the first round.
Advocating for football prospects one story at a time.
