Wallaceburg’s Jonah Pataki has advanced to the national CFL combine.
The second of three regional combines got under way on Friday afternoon in Toronto as the CFL hosted the Ontario Regional Combine presented by Adidas at the Varsity Centre and five prospects were selected to make the trip the national showcase next week in Regina.
Adam Adeboboye, Richard Gillespie, Jordan Hoover, Mark Mackie, and Pataki were invited to display their athletic abilities once again in front of CFL scouts, coaches, and management.
