After being passed over in the draft, two players from the Quebec region will try to carve out a place in the National Football League (NFL) through rookie camps.
Linebacker Geoffrey Cantin-Arku, originally from Lévis, accepted an invitation to the Miami Dolphins rookie camp. He confirmed it himself on his social networks on Sunday, the day after the conclusion of the NFL draft.
Cantin-Arku played 24 games with the University of Memphis as a starter after three years at Syracuse University. Previously, he had defended the colors of Cégep Garneau, in Quebec.
The physical player produced a modest 40-yard dash of 4.85/100 during professional trials, but he wowed in the change-of-direction drills.
Furthermore, kicker Vincent Blanchard also received an invitation to a professional camp, that of the New England Patriots.
Blanchard is the highest-rated specialist in the Canadian Football League (CFL) draft.
He made 94% of his field goal attempts, including his five precision kicks in the Vanier Cup game in 2022. He helped the Laval University Rouge et Or become national champions with a 49-point kick. yards.
The CFL draft is scheduled for Tuesday evening. His invitation to an NFL camp will not impact his chances in the Canadian circuit.
