2014 International AFL Combine
Here is information about international Australian Football combines in 2014. These international combines use the same tests as conducted at the AFL Draft Combine.
USA Combine
This was the 3rd time the AFL has conducted a combine in the USA. Twenty athletes were invited to the three day event held in LA from April 25-27, 2014.
One standout athlete was Mason Cox, from Oklahoma State University, standing at 211.4cm, making him the tallest athlete to ever take part in the 20-year history of the AFL combine testing. (Consequently, Cox went on to be drafted by Collingwood in 2015, and played in the 2018 Grand Final).
Another highlight was in the vertical jump, 200cm prospect Justin Wesley achieved 91.4cm (36 inches) in the standing vertical jump test, the best ever combine score.
