Canadian QB Taylor Elgersma Historic Senior Bowl Appearance

Taylor Elgersma, quarterback for Wilfrid Laurier University, is making history as the first Canadian university quarterback invited to the Reese’s Senior Bowl, showcasing his talent alongside 120 NCAA players. Elgersma led the Golden Hawks to an impressive 11-1 record and earned multiple accolades, including the OUA MVP award and the Hec Crighton award. As he participates in the Senior Bowl, he faces the challenge of adapting from Canadian football's 12-man format to the 11-man game used in the U.S., while also adjusting to the size of the American football. NFL scouts are showing interest in Elgersma, acknowledging his potential despite the adjustments he needs to make. His coaches believe he has the intelligence and work ethic to grow into a promising prospect. Elgersma aims to demonstrate his ability to develop and learn quickly, hoping to enhance his draft prospects for 2025.
