The Canadian Football League's global scouting team came away "very, very impressed" by the performances of the athletes who participated in the Japanese stop of the CFL Global Combine over the weekend.

The CFL hosted the combine after the professional league and the X League, Japan's top circuit, began a partnership in November.

The selectees will fly to Toronto for the CFL Global Combine, which is held March 26-28 for players from outside North America and followed by the CFL Global Draft in April.
