CFL Combine 2025: European talent shines in 51st state

The story of 3 players from the ELF – European League of Football takes us today to Canada, or as we like to call it, the 51st state of the USA. Specifically, we went to the CFL Combine 2025, where the European talents flexed their muscles. Maceo Beard, Louis Geyer and Pablo Araya showed that they not only cut a fine figure on the field, but can also impress in the athletic tests.

Maceo Beard, the French safety, really cleaned up at the CFL Global Combine. With a time of 4.68 seconds in the 40-yard dash, he showed that he is not only fast, but also damn quick. But that was by no means all. Beard also shined in the Three-Cone Drill with a time of 7.14 seconds, proving his agility. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, he also managed 18 reps on the bench press. This proved that he is not only fast, but also strong. With a time of 4.36 seconds in the shuttle run, he demonstrated his explosive lateral movement and ability to react. This time is also impressive and placed him well in comparison to other participants.

Louis Geyer, the German wide receiver, also put in an impressive performance. With a time of 6.81 seconds in the three-cone drill, he showed that he is not only fast, but also agile. This performance is particularly remarkable as it is close to the historical best times and underlines his agility and mobility. This time put him in fourth place among all participants, underlining his ability to change direction quickly. But Geyer can not only run, he can also powerfully tackle. With 13 repetitions in the bench press, he proved that he can also hold his own in the strength department. As if that wasn’t enough, he also clocked a time of 4.15 seconds in the shuttle run, proving his explosive lateral movement. This placing shows his ability to change direction quickly and maintain his speed over short distances.

Pablo Araya, the Spanish defensive back, also put in a strong performance at the CFL Combine. With a time of 7.13 seconds in the three-cone drill, he demonstrated his agility and agility. This performance shows that he is able to change direction quickly and move nimbly around the field. Araya had an impressive performance in the ELF last season, recording 99 tackles, including three for loss of space, and three pass defenses in 12 games. He also forced a fumble and recovered another, highlighting his ability to read the game and make crucial plays.

The performances of Maceo Beard, Louis Geyer and Pablo Araya at the CFL Combine 2025 have shown that European talents can also hold their own in North America. With their impressive results in the athletic tests, they have proven that they can not only impress on the field, but also in the physical disciplines.
