Elgersma was a Senior Bowl invited who worked out at Buffalo’s pro day
According to 3 Down Nation, a website covering Canadian football, the Green Bay Packers are hosting Wilfrid Laurier quarterback Taylor Elgersma for a pre-draft visit. 3DN also stated that the Packers were present at the University of Buffalo pro day, where the Canadian product participated.
The 6’4”, 216-pound Ontario product spent five years playing college football in Canada due to the 2020 season that was canceled for the Covid pandemic. Elgersma was a three-year starter at the U Sports level.
In 2023, Elgersma was a second-team All-Canadian player after leading the sports in passing yards. In 2024, he took Wilfrid Laurier to their first conference championship since 2005 and actually led the team to their national championship game, the Vanier Cup, where Wilfrid Laurier fell short. Last season, he was a first-team All-Canadian and won the Hec Crighton Trophy, which is equal to Canada’s Heisman Trophy Award.
Following the season, he was invited to the Senior Bowl, making him only the second U Sports player to make the cut for the game. Over his college career, he completed 793 of 1,121 passes (71 percent) for 10,547 yards, 78 touchdowns and 33 interceptions. He also posted 127 carries for 605 yards and 18 touchdowns.
According to the CFL Scouting Bureau, he’s the second-ranked quarterback in the 2025 CFL draft class, only behind Kurtis Rourke of Ohio, who is currently ranked 222nd on the consensus draft board — a draftable grade for the NFL.
If you want to watch a couple of clips from Elgersma’s 2024, we have a video linked below. Remember, U Sports plays with CFL rules, so there’s an extra man on the field, a 110-yard field, 20-yard end zones and plenty of men in motion at the snap. Remember to adjust your eyes.
