CFL PRESS RELEASE
TORONTO, ON – (January 17, 2011) – University of Saskatchewan offensive lineman Ben Heenan continues to be the top ranked prospect for this year’s Canadian Draft, the Canadian Football League Scouting Bureau announced today.
But despite Heenan’s hold on top of the ranking, there was plenty of movement below him, including the biggest change, the addition of Boise State defensive end Tyrone Crawford at the number two spot. Crawford was not included in the first scouting bureau ranking because he had not yet been declared eligible for the upcoming Canadian draft.
Four other players cracked the ranking for the first time, including Wofford defensive end Ameet Pall (7), McMaster offensive lineman and Vanier Cup champion Jason Medeiros (10), Laval defensive end Arnaud Gascon-Nadon (13) and Queen’s receiver Johnny Aprile (14).
The ranking includes five offensive lineman, four receivers, four defensive ends, a linebacker and a defensive back.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders currently hold the top pick in the 2012 CFL Canadian Draft. For the full draft order click here.
