The next player we focus upon in our CFL draft prospect series is 21-year-old Nic Demski who plays in the slotback position for Manitoba Bison’s. Demski would be drafted as a wide receiver and many of the teams will be hoping they are the lucky ones. However according to the CFL scouting bureau rankings he has dropped as last September he was ranked 3rd, then in December 2014 he dropped to 5th and in the final rankings he was ranked 9th. Nonetheless Demski should still be considered one of the top draft picks and figures suggest likewise as his form for the Bison’s last term saw him cover 767 yards with 6 touchdowns recorded from 36 catches equating to 1 touchdown for every 6 catches, impressive! Throughout his young career with the Bison’s he has been a four-time CIS all Canadian making him the youngest ever player to achieve this honour. This is even more impressive as he was juggling two sports (Canadian Football & Ice Hockey) until 2013 when he decided to focus solely on the football. 2013 also saw him move positions from offence to slotback where he excelled picking up his third all Canadian award as well as covering 640 yards with 7 touchdowns, proving that Demski’s potential will go a long way. Most likely destination
Given he is one of the most highly rated prospects in the draft I expect him to go in the top 3, meaning either Ottawa Redblacks, Winnipeg Blue Bombers or Toronto Argonauts will get him. Given that Demski is from the Winnipeg area and that the Blue Bombers may be looking for someone to beef up their offense then this could be his most likely destination. Demski too acknowledged this in an interview he gave to the Winnipeg Sun this March stating that it “would be a blessing, playing in front of family and friends, it would be an unreal feeling for sure.” Although it is worth noting that Demski has been invited by NFL side Clevland Browns to participate in their minicamp this weekend and the NFL is his preferred destination, so he could still be off to America.
