Winnipeg Blue Bombers wrap things up in Florida

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers Coaching and Scouting Staff saw what they needed to see. Now they just have to decide which 20 or so of the 40 players they watched the last two days at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida did enough of the right things to earn an invite to next month’s training camp in Winnipeg.

GM Kyle Walters says he had a few interesting conversations with some of the players ahead of Thursday morning’s final practice session. “Yeah, a couple sidle up and asked, How many guys from here make it to training camp?,” said Walters just as the final practice was underway.

“You can tell the veteran guys who have been through these things before, that wanna start figuring out the numbers game of things here,” said Walters. And the numbers work out to something like this according to the GM.
