The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have selected Wilfrid Laurier quarterback Taylor Elgersma in the second round, 18th overall during the 2025 CFL Draft.
The six-foot-five, 227-pound passer was named a second-team U Sports All-Canadian with the Golden Hawks in 2023 then reached new heights in 2024 when he was named a first-team U Sports All-Canadian and won the Hec Crighton Trophy while leading his team to the Vanier Cup.
The London, Ont. native attended the prestigious Senior Bowl, becoming the first U Sports quarterback ever to receive an invitation, where he completed four-of-seven pass attempts for 57 yards.
Elgersma finished his U Sports career completing 70.7 percent of his passes for 10,547 yards, 78 touchdowns, and 33 interceptions. The big-bodied passer did not sign a contract after going unselected in the 2025 NFL Draft, although 3DownNation reported he received offers to attend rookie mini-camp with over a dozen teams.
