WINNIPEG — For the second straight year, a member of the Manitoba Bisons football team will show off his skills to NFL scouts.
Offensive lineman Geoff Gray will hold a pro day workout at the University of Manitoba on March 30. He will be tested in several drills including the 40-yard dash, bench press and broad jump.
Gray was one of two Canadian university players invited to last month’s East-West Shrine Game. He was named the Canada West’s most outstanding down lineman, a conference all-star and a U Sports First Team All-Canadian this past season.

The 22-year-old Winnipegger is currently ranked fifth on CFL Scouting Bureau’s prospect list. He has not missed a match during his four seasons with the Bisons and has started the last 30 regular season games.
Gray is just the second Bison to hold a NFL pro day workout. Defensive lineman David Onyemata entertained scouts last March. Onyemata was later selected by the New Orleans Saints in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
