TORONTO — On the second and final day of the CFL Evaluation Camp presented by Reebok, it was Wilfrid Laurier receiver Shamawd Chambers who found himself atop the leader board.

Chambers ran the fastest 40-yard dash of the day, posting a time of 4.42 seconds, the fourth best time in Evaluation Camp history (the record of 4.31 seconds was set by Steven Turner in 2010).

Chambers, who is ranked fourth by the CFL Scouting Bureau, also finished strong in the left pro-agility drill, finishing in third with a time of 4.04 seconds.

The number one ranked prospect, University of Saskatchewan offensive lineman Ben Heenan, did not compete in all the drills on Sunday due to an injury.

St. Francis Xavier defensive back Dylan Hollohan had a solid weekend, winning three drills – pro agility left (3.958 seconds), pro agility right (3.923 seconds) and vertical jump (42.5 inches), and finished second in the 3-cone drill (6.51 seconds).

In total, 59 players attended the camp to be tested and scouted by all eight teams in advance of the 2012 CFL Canadian Draft on Thursday, May 3 at 3:00pm ET (TSN).
