2017 NFL Pro Day Results

2017 NFL Pro Day Results will be posted here as they come in. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.





2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, April 7, 7:15 p.m.

TCU
The final pro day took place on Friday at TCU. There were only a couple of prospects of note:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Aviante Collins	OL	6-4	292	—	—	—	—	7.85	24	8-6	—	—
Deante Gray	WR	5-8	185	4.38	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

Aviante Collins is a late-round prospect with bad film. He ran a 4.77 40, but has a history of track that helped him out in that regard. Meanwhile, defensive end Josh Carraway stood on his numbers as well. He could also be taken in the final rounds, though he struggled in the drills.





2017 Pro Day Notes: Thursday, April 6, 10:25 p.m.

Baylor
K.D. Cannon and several Baylor prospects worked out at their pro day:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
K.D. Cannon	WR	5-11	174	—	—	—	—	7.10	—	—	—	—
Shock Linwood	RB	5-9	201	4.72	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Orion Stewart	DB	6-0	203	4.58	—	—	—	7.05	37.5	10-5	—	—
Ishmael Zamora	WR	6-3	224	4.53	—	—	13	7.10	40	11-1	—	—

Ishmael Zamora posted some impressive numbers for a 6-3, 224-pound receiver. He’s a borderline draftable prospect who definitely helped himself. Conversely, Shock Lindwood’s 4.72 was a disaster. He skipped his bowl game to prepare for the draft. Oops.

Seth Russell sat on his combine numbers. He had an average passing workout, as he had some issues with ball placement.






2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, April 5, 12:55 p.m.

LSU
Several talented prospects took the field during LSU’s pro day, including a top-10 pick:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Jamal Adams	DB	6-0	212	4.33	—	—	—	—	—	—	9 3/8	32 1/8
Kendell Beckwith	DB	6-2	245	DNP	—	—	—	—	—	—	9 1/2	36 3/4
Josh Boutte	OL	6-4	351	5.25	—	—	28	8.11	27	8-7	10 3/8	32 5/8
Tashawn Bower	DL	6-4	250	4.73	—	—	—	7.11	34	10-4	9 3/4	33
Malachi Dupre	WR	6-2	196	4.46	—	—	—	—	—	—	9 1/2	32
Travin Dural	WR	6-1	199	4.57	—	—	—	—	—	—	8 3/4	32
Leonard Fournette	RB	6-0	228	DNP	—	—	—	—	—	—	9 1/8	31 3/4
Davon Godchaux	DL	6-3	301	DNP	—	—	22	7.82	29.5	8-8	10 1/4	32 5/8
Cyril Grayson	WR	5-9	178	4.33	—	—	7.02	14	34.5	10-7	9	30 1/2
Rickey Jefferson	DB	5-11	208	4.58	—	—	17	6.96	35.5	10-0	8 5/8	30 3/4
Colin Jeter	TE	6-6	251	4.75	—	—	20	7.11	31	9-3	9	32 5/8
Lewis Neal	DL	6-0	261	4.72	—	—	23	7.54	31	9-9	10	33 3/8
Ethan Pocic	OL	6-6	317	DNP	—	—	—	—	—	—	10	32 1/2
Duke Riley	LB	6-0	230	4.59	—	—	—	—	—	—	9 1/4	31 3/4
DeSean Smith	TE	6-4	240	4.94	—	—	14	7.39	28.5	9-3	9 5/8	31 1/4
Dwayne Thomas	DB	6-0	195	4.59	—	—	18	7.19	33.5	9-11	8 7/8	31 1/2
Tre’Davious White	DB	5-11	193	4.47	—	—	—	—	—	—	9 1/8	32 3/8

Yes, Jamal Adams ran a 4.33. He logged a 4.56 at the combine, so I’m sure the NFL will do a full investigation on whether or not Adams was using the Pegasus Boots or not. Other prospects ran comparative 40 times from the combine (Duke Riley ran a 4.59 today after a 4.58 at the combine), so it’s not like everyone was able to benefit from a fast track.

Update: Tre’Davious White ran a 4.47 at his pro day, which matched exactly what he did at the combine. He stood on the rest of his numbers. I have him going off the board with the final first-round pick in my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

Leonard Fournette didn’t do anything outside of drills, but he did measure in at 228 pounds. Anyone who still had lingering concerns about his combine weight can relax now.

You may notice that another LSU player ran a 4.33. That was Cyril Grayson, who was a track athlete at LSU. He’ll have to catch on as a return specialist as a UDFA.

2017 Pro Day Notes: Tuesday, April 4, 10:45 p.m.

Indiana
Only one player of note did the testing drills:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Devine Redding	RB	5-8	201	4.60	—	—	18	6.86	33	—	—	—

Redding is a borderline draftable prospect. The main attraction of Indiana’s pro day was Dan Feeney. The talented guard stood on his combine numbers, but had a terrific workout. Feeney is slotted near the top of the second round of my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.




2017 Pro Day Notes: Monday, April 3, 10:25 p.m.

Ole Miss
Chad Kelly’s troubles continued during his pro day, but first, the numbers:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Quincy Adeboyejo	WR	6-3	197	DNP	—	—	—	—	37	—	—	—
Derrick Jones	WR	6-2	189	4.46	—	—	—	—	41	11-0	—	—
Akeem Judd	RB	5-11	225	4.53	—	—	—	—	32.5	9-6	—	—
Damore’ea Stringefellow	WR	6-2	225	4.66	—	—	17	—	—	10-10	—	—

Kelly was set to have a limited workout because of his knee problems. After a few throws at his pro day, he had to shut it down because he injured his wrist. It’s just another hurdle for Kelly, who also has off-the-field concerns.

Speaking of off-field issues, Damore’ea Stringefellow had to make the most out of his pro day because he wasn’t invited to the combine. Stringefellow ran a disappointing 4.66 40, so he hurt his draft stock as well.





2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, March 31, 10:45 p.m.

West Virginia
There are a ton of numbers available from the West Virginia pro day:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Christian Brown	DL	6-2	298	5.32	—	—	34	7.89	26	8-5	—	—
Antonio Crawford	DB	5-10	185	4.51	—	—	—	6.81	32.5	—	—	—
Rasul Douglas	DB	6-2	209	4.57	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Maurice Fleming	DB	6-0	205	4.51	—	—	19	6.84	32	9-7	—	—
Shelton Gibson	WR	5-11	191	4.39	—	—	—	—	—	10-1	—	—
Jarrod Harper	DB	6-0	210	4.56	—	—	15	6.72	32	9-11	—	—
Darrien Howard	DL	6-0	302	4.97	—	—	26	7.17	—	9-4	—	—
Skyler Howard	QB	5-11	207	4.64	—	—	—	7.43	32	9-7	—	—
Nana Kyeremeh	DB	5-10	186	4.57	—	—	7	6.99	32	10-0	—	—
Devonte Mathis	WR	6-1	220	4.57	—	—	11	7.03	26.5	9-3	—	—
Noble Nwachukwu	DL	6-1	268	DNP	—	—	—	7.27	31.5	—	—	—
Tyler Orlosky	OL	6-3	298	5.32	—	—	—	7.91	26.5	8-6	—	—
Adam Pankey	OL	6-4	313	5.28	—	—	—	7.83	28	9-5	—	—
Khairi Sharif	DB	5-8	181	4.64	—	—	16	—	34.5	9-11	—	—
Rushel Shell	RB	5-10	227	4.65	—	—	—	7.06	—	9-4	—	—
Daikiel Shorts	WR	6-0	204	4.57	—	—	16	7.13	33.5	10-4	—	—
Jeremy Tyler	DB	5-11	208	4.70	—	—	11	6.94	32.5	9-4	—	—
Sean Walters	LB	6-2	228	4.83	—	—	15	7.02	29	9-5	—	—

Shelton Gibson ran a disappointing 4.50 40 at the combine, so it was nice to see him improve to 4.39 at his pro day.

Tyler Orlosky didn’t test well, but he’s a sound center prospect who figures to be chosen in the third or fourth round.





2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, March 31, 10:05 p.m.

Texas Tech
A report on Patrick Mahomes, but first, a couple of prospects had some interesting numbers:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Tyler Scalzi	TE	6-3	238	—	—	—	37	—	36	10-6	—	—
Luke Stice	LB	6-0	230	—	—	—	28	—	32.5	9-6	—	—

Mahomes didn’t do the testing drills, but a number of high-level executives were on hand to see him throw the ball around. Mahomes had some deep misses, but those had to do with his receivers. Mahomes showed off terrific arm strength, and he even worked under center, which he did not do at Texas Tech. Mahomes is working hard on his mechanics, and because of his work ethic, he could emerge as the top quarterback in this class. I have Mahomes in the first round of my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

The other prospect worth noting is Tyler Scalzi, who posted some impressive numbers in the testing drills. Scalzi could be an interesting UDFA pick-up.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, March 31, 9:05 p.m.

Tennessee
Derek Barnett headlined Tennessee’s pro day, which featured three prospects who could be chosen in the first half of the 2017 NFL Draft:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Derek Barnett	DL	6-3	259	4.90	—	—	20	7.12	31	—	—	—
Kenny Bynum	LB	6-1	235	DNP	—	—	—	7.65	—	—	—	—
Jason Croom	TE	6-4	246	4.63	—	—	—	7.41	34	—	—	—
Malik Foreman	DB	5-11	187	4.37	—	—	11	7.40	35.5	—	—	—
Alvin Kamara	RB	5-10	214	DNP	—	—	—	7.06	—	—	—	—
LaTroy Lewis	DL	6-4	256	4.89	—	—	21	7.43	32	—	—	—
Danny O’Brien	DL	6-2	301	5.12	—	—	25	7.72	35.5	—	—	—
Jalen Reeves-Maybin	LB	6-0	230	4.65	—	—	—	7.39	35.5	—	—	—
Cameron Sutton	DB	5-11	188	DNP	—	—	—	7.09	—	—	—	—
Corey Vereen	DL	6-2	249	—	—	—	26	7.56	28.5	—	—	—
Dylan Wiesman	OL	6-3	310	5.09	—	—	27	8.03	28.5	—	—	—

Alvin Kamara and Cameron Sutton stood on their combine numbers, save for the 3-cone drill.

Derek Barnett, meanwhile, ran the 40, but managed just a 4.90. He also posted a lackluster 31-inch vertical, which was originally reported at 37 inches. Barnett was reportedly battling a hamstring injury during the workout.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, March 31, 1:45 p.m.

Texas A&M
The presumptive No. 1 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft worked out and actually ran the 40 at his pro day:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Jermaine Eluemunor	OL	6-4	334	DNP	—	—	—	7.63	28.5	8-7	—	—
Justin Evans	DB	6-0	195	4.57	—	—	—	—	41.5	10-9	—	—
Myles Garrett	DL	6-4	268	4.57	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Avery Gennesy	OL	6-3	314	5.40	—	—	—	—	25	7-11	—	—
Daeshon Hall	DL	6-6	264	DNP	—	—	—	—	—	9-11	—	—
Speedy Noil	WR	5-11	202	4.45	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Josh Reynolds	WR	6-3	193	4.54	—	—	—	—	36	—	—	—
Ricky Seals-Jones	TE	6-5	246	DNP	—	—	—	—	31	10-1	—	—

Garrett was tremendous at the combine, in part because he ran 4.64 at about 270 pounds. Well, he was even more impressive at his pro day, dropping his 40 to a ridiculous 4.57. He’s all but locked up the top spot, as seen in the 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

Other Texas A&M prospects who were impressive at their pro day include Jermaine Eluemunor, Daeshon Hall and Speedy Noil. Ricky Seals-Jones worked out as a tight end and did quite well by all accounts.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Thursday, March 30, 9:30 p.m.

UT-Chattanooga
UT-Chattanooga has a potential second-day prospect:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Keionta Davis	DL	6-3	268	4.71	—	—	30	—	37	10-1	—	—

Davis performed well in the drills and solidified his status as a borderline second-day pick. Tony Pauline reported that the Bengals met with Davis.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Thursday, March 30, 9:20 p.m.

UNLV
UNLV doesn’t have sure-fire draft prospects, but two players will be on UDFA radars:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Tai Lotulelei	LB	6-0	229	4.83	—	—	22	6.94	34.5	10-1	—	—
Torry McTyer	DB	5-11	178	4.41	—	—	10	6.94	33.5	10-6	—	—

2017 Pro Day Notes: Thursday, March 30, 9:00 p.m.

Ohio
Ohio is not a major-conference program, but it has two prospects who will likely be chosen on Day 2:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Tarrell Basham	DL	6-4	268	4.70	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Blair Brown	LB	5-11	240	DNP	—	—	22	—	38	9-7	—	—

Per Tony Pauline, the Bengals have Basham as a second-round candidate. Brown, meanwhile, might be even better. His 38-inch vertical is impressive at his size.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 29, 9:40 p.m.

Miami
Miami doesn’t have many top-end draft prospects, with David Njoku probably being the only Hurricane to be selected prior to Day 3. Here were the 40 times:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Jamal Carter	DB	6-1	218	4.60	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Adrian Colbert	DB	6-0	205	4.44	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Stacy Coley	WR	6-1	195	4.33	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Stan Dobard	TE	6-4	265	4.74	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Corn Elder	DB	5-10	183	4.45	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Jermaine Grace	LB	6-1	223	4.50	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Malcolm Lewis	WR	5-10	190	4.44	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Al-Quadin Muhammad	DL	6-3	253	4.78	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
David Njoku	TE	6-4	246	4.49	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Marquez Williams	RB	5-10	275	4.70	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Joe Yearby	RB	5-9	195	4.73	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

Njoku improved his 40 time from the combine (4.64) to 4.49 at his pro day. That will help his first-round status; I have him going to the Broncos in my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

Brad Kaaya didn’t do any testing drills, but he thrived in the field workout. He has a chance of being selected in the third round.

Jermaine Grace is worth noting because he checked in at 223 pounds. He was listed at 205 in college. Considering that, his 40 time was pretty solid.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 29, 1:40 a.m.

Texas
With only one-sure draftable prospect in D’Onta Foreman, the Texas program isn’t nearly what it used to be. In fact, did you know that there hasn’t been a Texas offensive lineman selected in the NFL Draft since 2008? Crazy. At any rate, here are the 40s:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Caleb Bluiett	TE	6-3	257	4.70	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Paul Boyette	DL	6-3	317	5.25	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
D’Onta Foreman	RB	6-0	234	4.45	—	—	—	—	33	10-0	—	—
Dylan Haines	DB	6-1	200	4.60	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Kent Perkins	OL	6-5	320	5.24	—	—	35	—	—	—	—	—
Tyrone Swoopes	TE	6-3	249	4.69	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Jacorey Warrick	WR	5-10	173	4.50	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

Foreman looked great in all facets, running an exceptional 4.45 40 and jumping 33 inches vertically. Not bad for a 234-pound back! Foreman helped his draft stock, as he looked good in the drills as well. He may have cemented himself into the second round.

I mentioned earlier that no Texas offensive lineman has been taken in the NFL Draft since 2008. Tackle-guard Kent Perkins may buck that trend. I’d lean toward him being a UDFA, but he has a shot at the late rounds. He had a strong pro day as well.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 29, 1:20 a.m.

Florida State
Jalen Tabor and Dalvin Cook were two draft prospects from the state of Florida who bombed the combine. While Tabor failed to improve his stock at his school’s pro day, Cook helped himself:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Dalvin Cook	RB	5-11	213	4.43	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Roderick Johnson	OL	6-7	298	—	—	—	—	—	—	8-7	—	—
Travis Rudolph	WR	6-0	189	4.56	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Freddie Stevenson	RB	6-0	234	—	—	—	—	—	—	9-4	—	—
DeMarcus Walker	DL	6-4	280	4.76	—	—	20	—	—	9-7	—	—
Kermit Whitfield	WR	5-8	185	4.33	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

A 4.43 40 won’t blow anyone away, but Cook did at least improve his time from 4.49. I wish he would’ve tried the 3-cone again because that’s more important, and his 7.2 time at the combine was slow, but he opted not to repeat that drill. Cook otherwise looked good and should be a top-20 pick. I have him going to the Bengals in my new 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

DeMarcus Walker had an even better pro day, timing a 4.76 40, which is hilariously nearly as fast as Jalen Tabor ran (4.73) at the Florida pro day. Walker is 81 pounds heavier than Tabor.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Tuesday, March 28, 11:20 p.m.

Florida
Jalen Tabor’s draft stock has continued to plummet. Other Gators impressed:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Jarrad Davis	LB	6-1	238	4.56	—	—	23	—	38.5	10-9	—	—
Joey Ivie	OL	6-3	300	4.97	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Marcus Maye	DB	6-0	207	4.49	—	—	—	7.07	33.5	—	—	—
Jalen Tabor	DB	6-0	199	4.73	—	—	—	—	32	—	—	—

Tabor ran a 4.62 at the combine, but many thought he would do what Joe Haden did and turn his poor combine 40 into a solid run at the pro day. Tabor was somehow slower by .11 seconds. A horrible 40 time doesn’t necessarily mean Tabor will be terrible in the pros, but it’s not a good sign. A 4.60 is the benchmark for cornerbacks, and Tabor was way worse than that. He’s slower than some defensive linemen, and his linebacker teammate was two-tenths of a second faster. That’s insane.

Jarrad Davis had a terrific workout and could be picked in the first round as a result. Marcus Maye was also exceptional in the drills. Tony Pauline of DraftAnalyst.com reported that Maye met with the Steelers, Browns and Texans.

Quincy Wilson and Alex Anzalone stood on their combine numbers.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Tuesday, March 28, 1:00 a.m.

Western Kentucky
Forrest Lamp stood on his combine numbers. Here were some of the others:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Max Halpin	OL	6-2	295	—	—	—	35	—	—	—	—	—
Branden Leston	DB	6-2	205	—	—	—	—	6.65	37	—	—	—
Nicholas Norris	WR	5-9	175	—	—	—	—	—	37	10-5	—	—
Anthony Wales	RB	5-9	194	—	—	—	—	6.95	—	—	—	—

Safety Branden Leston was the top performer at the pro day with a 6.65 3-cone and 37-inch vertical. Leston was a star special-teamer for Western Kentucky. Perhaps he’ll contribute on special teams in the pros as well. He’ll be a UDFA target.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Monday, March 27, 11:30 p.m.

Houston
Some very interesting things happened at Houston’s pro day. First, the numbers:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Cameron Malveaux	DL	6-5	277	—	—	—	—	—	37.5	10-5	—	—
Tyler McCloskey	TE	6-1	237	—	—	—	25	—	—	—	—	—
B.J. Singleton	DL	6-3	312	—	—	—	26	—	—	—	—	—
Greg Ward	WR	5-10	182	4.58	—	—	—	6.96	34.5	9-7	—	—
Brandon Wilson	DB	5-10	198	4.36	—	—	24	—	41	11-1	—	—
Howard Wilson	DB	6-1	184	4.58	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

Tyus Bowser, Houston’s top prospect, was content enough to stand on his combine numbers. He’s a likely second-round pick who could be chosen in Round 1. I have him slotted to the Packers in the second round of my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

Two pieces of big news:

1. Howard Wilson, who failed to improve upon his combine 40, refused to participate in the workout drills. Every single healthy prospect does the drills, yet Wilson apparently thought he was above that. Scouts urged him to workout, but he wouldn’t change his mind. This is definitely going to hurt his draft stock.

2. Brandon Wilson posted terrific workout numbers, and he could be chosen in the late rounds. Wilson was a cornerback at Houston, but he could transition to running back in the pros; he started a couple of games at running back at Houston and looked very good. The Seahawks have shown interest.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, March 24, 10:30 p.m.

Utah
A Utah prospect who wasn’t invited to the combine would’ve posted the top number at one of the testing drills:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Hunter Dimick	DL	6-3	268	4.69	—	—	38	—	—	—	—	—
Tim Patrick	WR	6-4	210	4.45	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

Hunter Dimick was a combine snub, yet his 38 bench reps would’ve put him atop that category. For those wondering, the NFL record is 49 reps by Stephen Paea. Dimick should be a late-round pick.

Utah’s top prospects – Garett Bolles, Marcus Williams, Isaac Asiata, Sam Tevi – stood on their combine numbers.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, March 24, 10:20 p.m.

BYU
BYU has one sure-fire draftable prospect. Others worked out as well:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Michael Davis	DB	6-2	195	4.34	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Andrew Eide	OL	6-4	303	5.12	—	—	33	—	31	9-6	—	—
Taysom Hill	QB	6-2	225	4.44	—	—	—	—	38.5	10-2	—	—
Harvey Langi	LB	6-2	251	4.60	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Kai Nacua	DB	6-1	216	4.50	—	—	15	6.84	39	10-7	—	—
Jamaal Williams	RB	6-0	212	4.53	—	—	—	7.07	33	DNP	—	—

Jamaal Williams is BYU’s top prospect, and he did well at his pro day. He improved his 40 time from 4.59 to 4.53, and he also dropped his 3-cone from 7.25 to 7.07. Williams could come off the board early on Day 3.

Two other BYU prospects performed well. Taysom Hill had a great workout, while 6-2 corner Michael Davis ran a 4.34 40. Some team might give Davis a chance as a UDFA, but he has off-the-field issues; he was charged with misdemeanor counts of assault and riot a couple of years ago.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, March 24, 8:55 p.m.

California
Cal’s pro day was ruined by a torrential downpour. A couple of prospects were still able to work out:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Chad Hansen	WR	6-2	202	4.44	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Khalfani Muhammad	RB	5-7	174	4.34	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

Davis Webb stood on his numbers, but everyone was in attendance to see him throw anyway. Unfortunately, Webb’s workout was ruined by the heavy rain, with some of his passes being inaccurate as a result of the wet conditions. I have Webb in the second round of my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

Chad Hansen improved his 40 time from the combine, which was 4.53. Some clocked him in the low 4.4s. Better yet, Hansen looked good in the drills, catching the ball well despite the horrible conditions.

Khalfani Muhammad’s 40 time is nice, but he’s 5-7, 174. He’ll be a UDFA who will have to catch on as a special-teams player.

Michigan
Michigan is a huge pro day with lots of participants, so here are the numbers:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Taco Charlton	DL	6-6	251	4.83	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Jehu Chesson	WR	6-3	204	4.46	—	—	13	—	39.5	—	—	—
Amara Darboh	WR	6-2	216	DNP	—	—	DNP	6.81	36.5	DNP	—	—
Taco Charlton	DL	6-6	251	4.83	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Ryan Glasgow	DL	6-3	300	DNP	—	—	24	DNP	DNP	DNP	—	—
Jourdan Lewis	DB	5-10	182	4.45	—	—	DNP	6.88	DNP	DNP	—	—
De’Veon Smith	RB	5-11	223	4.75	—	—	—	7.00	—	—	—	—
Channing Stribling	DB	6-1	185	4.57	—	—	DNP	7.14	33.5	10-1	—	—
Chris Wormley	DL	6-5	297	4.82	—	—	DNP	7.08	31.5	9-2	—	—

Jabrill Peppers was one of several Michigan players to stand on his combine numbers. Peppers worked out and wasn’t very impressive. It’s disappointing that he couldn’t build off his combine performance. Peppers is a likely late first-round pick.

Taco Charlton improved his 40 from the combine (4.92) and looked good in the drills, as did Amara Darboh.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Thursday, March 23, 10:10 p.m.

Notre Dame
DeShone Kizer worked out today, but first, the numbers:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Jarron Jones	DL	6-6	310	5.51	—	—	—	8.62	24.5	8-6	—	—
DeShone Kizer	QB	6-4	237	DNP	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Cole Luke	DB	5-11	198	4.60	—	—	11	6.82	35.5	9-5	—	—
James Onwualo	LB	6-1	228	4.75	—	—	24	7.25	36	9-11	—	—

DeShone Kizer had a middling workout. He showed off a big arm and athleticism, as he was expected to. However, Kizer also displayed accuracy issues. He misfired on 10 of 64 passes. Granted, some were drops, but ball placement was an issue. It’s becoming clearer that Kizer has a good chance of dropping to the second round, which is what I have happening in my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

Elsewhere, Jarron Jones posted some brutal testing numbers. His draft is also pointed downward.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Thursday, March 23, 9:55 p.m.

Ohio State
The 40 times from the Ohio State pro day are in:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Jarrod Barnes	DB	5-11	193	4.81	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Noah Brown	WR	6-2	222	4.57	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Craig Fada	LB	6-1	225	5.07	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Corey Smith	WR	6-0	188	4.68	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Dontre Wilson	WR	5-10	187	4.59	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

As you can see, the top Ohio State prospects didn’t run their 40s. Most of them did work out, however.

The big news is that Gareon Conley looked better than Marshon Lattimore during the on-field drills, according to Charlie Campbell’s sources. Both are in the first round of my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 23, 1:05 a.m.

Duke
Duke has no obvious draftable prospects, but here are their pro day numbers:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Breon Borders	DB	5-11	189	4.45	—	—	—	6.98	34	10-0	—	—
Corbin McCarthy	DB	5-9	208	4.41	—	—	—	7.28	36	10-0	—	—
Anthony Nash	WR	6-4	211	4.38	—	—	—	7.22	37.5	10-4	—	—

Anthony Nash posted some terrific testing numbers. However, he has just 66 career catches. Teams will have to dig into his tape to determine if he’s worth a priority UDFA designation.

Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh had some interesting prospects show off during Wednesday’s pro day:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Adam Bisnowaty	OL	6-5	304	—	—	—	—	7.28	—	—	—	—
James Conner	RB	6-1	237	—	—	—	—	7.41	—	—	—	—
Dontez Ford	WR	6-1	212	4.58	—	—	15	6.98	36	10-7	—	—
Scott Orndoff	TE	6-4	253	4.72	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Ejuan Price	DL	5-11	236	4.68	—	—	—	6.98	—	—	—	—

James Conner was the big name at Pittsburgh’s pro day. He stood on most of his numbers (7.41 3-cone), but the important thing is that he looked very good in the drills. The Eagles reportedly have great interest in him.

Two other prominent Pittsburgh prospects worth noting are Dorian Johnson and Nathan Peterman. Johnson, a talented guard, couldn’t work out because of his hamstring. Peterman, a quarterback I have slotted in the third round of my 2017 NFL Mock Draft, had a somewhat decent performance.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 22, 11:25 p.m.

Connecticut
Connecticut’s pro day drew interest because the school has a first-round prospect:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Andreas Knapp	OL	6-8	311	5.25	—	—	23	—	30	8-10	—	—
Obi Melifonwu	DB	6-4	219	—	—	—	—	7.06	—	—	—	—
Noel Thomas	WR	6-1	201	4.49	—	—	—	—	33	9-10	—	—

Obi Melifonwu stood on most of his combine numbers, but ran a 7.05 3-cone. He was terrific in the drills. He met with the Buccaneers, Panthers and Lions, and he has visits coming up with the Steelers, Seahawks and Saints. He also had a workout with the Texans. I have Melifonwu slotted to the Saints in the opening round of my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

Both Andreas Knapp and Noel Thomas pulled their hamstrings during the second 40 time.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 22, 11:00 p.m.

USC
The 40 times from the USC pro day are available:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Justin Davis	RB	6-1	208	4.49	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
DeQuan Hampton	WR	6-3	225	4.66	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Taylor McNamara	TE	6-4	252	4.75	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Quinton Powell	LB	6-2	200	4.75	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Jordan Simmons	OL	6-4	339	5.14	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Isaac Whitney	WR	6-2	220	4.75	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

As you can see, the big-name players didn’t test. However, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Darreus Rogers and Adoree Jackson looked great in the drills, as did Jordan Simmons. The latter is a UDFA prospect because of a history of injuries, but could be someone to watch.

Conversely, Zach Banner struggled. His poor pre-draft process continues.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 22, 12:25 a.m.

UCLA
Takkarist McKinley didn’t perform in the testing drills at the pro day. Fabian Moreau opted for the bench press, but strained his pectoral in the process.

Here are the other numbers:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Marcus Rios	DB	5-11	192	4.49	—	—	18	7.22	—	10-4	—	33
Kenny Walker	WR	5-9	180	4.33	—	—	19	—	—	—	—	—

Kenny Walker blazed the 40. The time listed is 4.33, but some had him in the 4.2s. Walker hasn’t been a productive player throughout his college career – 41 career catches – but he’s a hard worker with upside. He could be signed as a UDFA.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 22, 12:05 a.m.

Boston College
Here are the numbers from the Boston College pro day:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
David Dudeck	WR	5-9	195	4.68	—	—	15	6.88	37.5	9-7	—	—
John Johnson	DB	6-1	205	DNP	—	—	—	—	—	10-0	—	—
Kevin Kavalc	DL	6-2	249	4.75	—	—	18	7.34	32	9-11	—	—
Matt Milano	LB	6-0	222	DNP	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Patrick Towles	QB	6-5	241	4.59	—	—	—	7.29	33.5	10-0	—	—
Myles Willis	RB	5-8	192	4.50	—	—	17	6.91	36	10-3	—	—

The two players of note are Matt Milano and Patrick “Don’t Forget to Bring a” Towels. Milano didn’t do any of the testing drills, opting to stand on his combine numbers. He could be a late-round pick.

Towels looked good in both the tests and drills. His arm strength and accuracy were both solid. He’s another late-round pick with some developmental upside.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Tuesday, March 21, 11:50 p.m.

Grambling
There was one Grambling player of note:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Chad Williams	WR	6-0	207	4.35	—	—	—	7.12	35.5	10-3	—	—

Williams is a late-round/UDFA prospect who might generate some interest with his numbers. Per Tony Pauline of DraftAnalyst.com, the Seahawks and Vikings met with Williams at his pro day.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Tuesday, March 21, 10:30 p.m.

North Carolina
Many of the North Carolina players stood on their combine numbers, but there are some new workout figures to mention:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Elijah Hood	RB	5-11	230	4.63	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Bug Howard	WR	6-4	222	—	—	—	—	—	34	—	—	—
T.J. Logan	RB	5-9	192	—	—	—	—	6.59	—	—	—	—

Both Mitchell Trubisky and Ryan Switzer only performed in the drills. Trubisky looked good with positive arm strength, but struggled with accuracy. Trubisky has visits with the Browns, Chiefs, Jets and 49ers. I have him slotted to Cleveland at No. 12 in my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

T.J. Logan had a solid showing. Elijah Hood, conversely, struggled Tuesday afternoon. He looked out of shape. Wide receiver Mack Hollins couldn’t work out because of an injury.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Tuesday, March 21, 2:35 a.m.

Syracuse and Toledo
Full workout numbers from these two pro days aren’t available at the moment, but I can list some highlights from both workouts:

Syracuse receiver Amba Etta-Tawo improved his 40 from a 4.49 at the combine to a 4.35 at his pro day. This sort of illustrates why 40s at the pro day are taken less seriously, but it’s still nice that Etta-Tawo upgraded his numbers. The Bills and Giants have shown interest in him.

Syracuse’s other receiver, Brisley Estime, also showed well. His 40 wasn’t documented, but he posted a 34-inch vertical and a 10-1 broad jump. Estime is more of a return specialist, and he’ll try to catch on with an NFL team as a UDFA.

Toledo running back Kareem Hunt ran a 4.57, improving by about a tenth of a second from the combine. Tony Pauline of DraftAnalyst.com reported that the Buccaneers will have a workout with Hunt.

Toledo tight end Michael Roberts posted a 4.80 40 and 21 reps on the bench press. Roberts, per Pauline, met with the Lions and Steelers, and he’ll be working out for the Cardinals, Eagles and Buccaneers in the near future.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Saturday, March 18, 12:15 a.m.

Oregon State
Oregon State has two draftable prospects in guard Sean Harlow and safety Treston Decoud. Here were their numbers, as well as those from the other Oregon State players:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Gavin Andrews	OL	6-5	334	DNP	—	—	25	8.20	25	8-0	9 3/4	33 1/2
Victor Bolden	WR	5-8	180	4.51	—	—	9	6.72	32	9-9	9 1/4	30 3/4
Devin Chappell	DB	6-0	204	4.62	—	—	17	7.00	35	9-8	9 1/4	30 1/2
Tim Cook	RB	6-0	242	4.63	—	—	25	7.15	37	10-0	9 1/2	30 1/2
Treston Decoud	DB	6-2	207	4.54	—	—	11	7.17	30.5	9-8	9	33
Rahmel Dockery	WR	5-10	180	4.70	—	—	10	7.01	29	9-8	8 3/4	30
Sean Harlow	OL	6-4	300	5.15	—	—	26	8.16	30.5	8-9	9 1/2	31 3/4
Ricky Ortiz	RB	6-1	230	4.90	—	—	26	7.26	33.5	9-10	10 1/4	30 1/2
Caleb Saulo	LB	6-0	234	5.01	—	—	DNP	7.38	30	9-0	10 1/4	31 1/2
Dustin Stanton	OL	6-5	298	5.20	—	—	18	7.81	30	9-10	9	32 1/2
Noke Tago	DL	6-1	293	5.55	—	—	31	8.03	24	8-0	10	30 1/2

Decoud and Harlow showed well and should remain in third-day consideration.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, March 17, 10:45 p.m.

Penn State
Lots of numbers from the Penn State pro day, so let’s not waste any time getting right to them:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Brandon Bell	LB	6-1	229	4.68	—	—	15	—	32	9-6	—	—
Brian Gaia	OL	6-3	292	5.19	—	—	32	—	28	9-6	—	—
Malik Golden	DB	6-1	201	4.50	—	—	16	—	35	10-5	—	—
Wendy Laurent	OL	6-2	288	5.43	—	—	19	—	29	8-7	—	—
Irvin Paye	RB	5-5	169	4.59	—	—	14	—	36	10-5	—	—
Evan Schwan	DL	6-5	261	4.69	—	—	19	—	31.5	10-1	—	—
Garrett Sickels	DL	6-4	254	4.81	—	—	20	—	33	9-5	—	—
Jordan Smith	DB	5-10	186	DNP	—	—	14	—	35.5	9-2	—	—
Nyeem Wartman-White	LB	6-1	245	DNP	—	—	17	—	DNP	DNP	—	—

Chris Godwin’s numbers aren’t listed because he stood on what he did at the combine. He’ll visit the Buccaneers soon.

Garrett Sickels struggled once again, but drew a lot of interest from the Jets.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, March 17, 1:45 a.m.

Vanderbilt
The two key Vanderbilt prospects, Zach Cunningham and Will Holden, stood on their numbers and just performed in the drills. Cunningham looked good.

We have a set of numbers from one Vanderbilt prospect:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Adam Butler	DL	6-4	293	5.20	—	—	23	7.50	28.5	8-5	—	—

Butler is unlikely to be drafted, but should be signed afterward.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Thursday, March 16, 2:40 p.m.

Clemson
The Clemson 40 times are in, courtesy of Tigernet.com:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Ben Boulware	LB	6-0	238	4.79	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Wayne Gallman	RB	6-0	211	4.52	—	—	—	—	30.5	—	—	—
Jay Guillermo	OL	6-3	301	5.35	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Jadar Johnson	DB	6-1	201	4.55	—	—	—	6.90	33.5	10-4	—	—
Jordan Leggett	TE	6-6	260	4.68	—	—	—	7.24	—	9-11	—	—
Grant Radakovich	TE	6-1	255	5.03	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Artavis Scott	WR	5-10	194	4.49	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Carlos Watkins	DL	6-3	313	4.98	—	—	—	—	28	9-6	—	—
Mike Williams	WR	6-4	218	4.49	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

There was some controversy regarding Williams’ 40 times. He was clocked at 4.49 and 4.50, but there were some who timed him at mid-4.6. He also had some drops in the drills. Regardless, Williams is a likely top-15 pick. I have him slotted to the Bills in my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

As for Deshaun Watson, he had an inconsistent showing. His deep ball was good, but his accuracy was underwhelming. Watson needed a great day because of numerous lingering concerns from NFL teams, as well as his poor showing in the throwing-power drill at the combine, as his ball velocity measured at just 49 mph, which was far worse than the other top quarterbacks:

Pat Mahomes: 60 mph

Davis Webb: 59 mph

DeShone Kizer: 56 mph

Jerod Evans: 55 mph

Mitchell Trubisky: 55 mph

Brad Kaaya: 53 mph

Nathan Peterman: 53 mph

Deshaun Watson: 49 mph


2017 Pro Day Notes: Thursday, March 16, 1:40 a.m.

Georgia
Georgia Tech’s pro day was a bit of a dud this year, but there were a couple of prospects worth mentioning. First, the numbers:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Chuks Amaechi	LB	6-2	230	4.83	—	—	—	—	32	—	—	—
Tyler Catalina	OL	6-4	324	DNP	—	—	—	—	31	—	—	—
Reggie Davis	WR	6-0	170	4.31	—	—	—	—	DNP	—	—	—
Quincy Mauger	DB	6-0	205	4.60	—	—	—	—	37.5	—	—	—
Greg Pyke	OL	6-3	313	DNP	—	—	—	—	20	—	—	—
Maurice Smith	DB	5-11	196	4.72	—	—	—	—	34.5	—	—	—
Glenn Welch	RB	6-2	244	DNP	—	—	—	—	29.5	—	—	—

There isn’t much that stands out here, save for Reggie Davis’ 4.31 40. Davis is unlikely to be drafted, but could interest a team as a UDFA because of his speed.

Greg Pyke is probably Georgia’s top draft prospect, as he carries a late-round grade. Pyke’s 20-inch vertical won’t impact him, but I just wanted to note that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a vertical jump be so low. It’s almost as if he were wearing iron boots.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 15, 2:35 a.m.

Kansas State
Jordan Willis stood on his combine numbers. Two other Kansas State prospects of note did everything, however:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Elijah Lee	LB	6-2	229	4.65	—	—	18	6.91	38	10-2	—	—
Charmeachealle Moore	LB	6-0	230	4.61	—	—	22	—	34	10-0	—	—

Lee is a Round 4-6 prospect and has generated some interest. He’ll be visiting the Vikings, and he has a private workout scheduled with the Lions, according to Nola.com.

Tony Pauline reported that Charmeachalle Moore met with the Jaguars and Chiefs. He’s a likely UDFA.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 15, 2:35 a.m.

South Carolina
There are lots of testing numbers from the South Carolina pro day:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Matrick Belton	WR	6-3	216	4.66	—	—	18	—	31.5	10-2	—	—
Jordan Diggs	DB	5-11	202	4.92	—	—	13	—	33.5	9-11	—	—
Chaz Elder	DB	6-2	205	DNP	—	—	17	—	36	10-2	—	—
Darius English	DL	6-5	248	4.84	—	—	19	—	35	10-9	—	—
Kelsey Griffin	DL	6-2	313	5.16	—	—	26	—	24	8-2	—	—
T.J. Holloman	LB	6-2	232	4.87	—	—	23	—	27.5	9-2	—	—
Shannon James	DB	5-6	165	4.65	—	—	5	—	30	9-3	—	—
Marquavius Lewis	DL	6-4	276	4.96	—	—	21	—	31	9-6	—	—
Cedrick Malone	LB	5-10	211	4.75	—	—	17	—	34	10-2	—	—
Chris Moody	DB	6-0	219	4.74	—	—	18	—	30	9-6	—	—
Darius Paulk	RB	5-7	197	4.84	—	—	24	—	29.5	9-1	—	—
Jonathan Walton	LB	6-0	236	4.69	—	—	15	—	33.5	9-5	—	—
Mason Zandi	OL	6-9	309	5.15	—	—	21	—	31.5	9-5	—	—

Of all the prospects at the South Carolina pro day, Darius English likely has the best chance of being drafted. He could be a late-round pick. Tony Pauline reported that English met with the Chargers and Browns. Meanwhile, the Patriots spent plenty of time with T.J. Holloman.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Sunday, March 12, 12:40 a.m.

Washington
The Washington prospects sat on their combine numbers, but there are two big news items coming from Washington’s pro day:

1. Sidney Jones tore his Achilles during the drills. This is obviously horrible news, as Jones, a likely top-20 pick, will now fall to Round 2. You can check my Disaster Grades for more.

2. John Ross didn’t run to attempt to improve on his record-breaking 4.22. He did the on-field drills, which he couldn’t do at the combine because of a minor injury. However, Ross wasn’t very good in these drills, displaying shaky hands. Ross is going to be a first-round pick, but may not go as highly as some think. I have Ross being picked by the Broncos in my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Saturday, March 11, 12:45 a.m.

Auburn
There were lots of prospects on display at Auburn’s pro day, so let’s get right to it:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Montravius Adams	DL	6-3	304	4.83	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Xavier Dampeer	OL	6-3	308	5.16	—	—	30	—	29	9-0	—	—
Marcus Davis	WR	5-9	179	4.49	—	—	—	—	31.5	9-2	—	—
T.J. Davis	CB	6-0	200	4.49	—	—	19	—	34	9-2	—	—
Rudy Ford	DB	5-11	200	4.38	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Greg Hall	LB	6-2	254	4.91	—	—	25	—	32	9-5	—	—
Josh Holsey	DB	5-10	190	4.43	—	—	15	—	35	9-10	—	—
Jeremy Johnson	QB	6-4	232	4.73	—	—	—	—	31.5	9-6	—	—
Alex Kozan	OL	6-3	309	5.52	—	—	18	—	31	8-3	—	—
Devaroe Lawrence	DL	6-2	294	—	—	—	31	—	—	—	—	—
Carl Lawson	DL	6-2	259	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
Robert Leff	OL	6-5	302	5.13	—	—	20	—	28	8-7	—	—
T.J. Neal	LB	6-0	236	4.77	—	—	19	—	31	9-0	—	—
Tony Stevens	WR	6-4	212	4.49	—	—	12	—	34.5	10-6	—	—
Maurice Swain	DL	6-5	329	5.22	—	—	27	—	24	7-11	—	—
Marshall Taylor	DB	6-2	195	4.57	—	—	13	—	34	10-3	—	—

The top prospects are Montravius Adams and Carl Lawson, both of whom were at the combine. Adams pretty much ran the same 40 that he did in Indianapolis, while Lawson sat on his numbers.

Another player who stood out was wide receiver Tony Stevens, who posted a 10-6 broad jump and a 34.5-inch vertical at 6-4, 212. He performed well at the East-West Shrine Game.





2017 Pro Day Notes: Friday, March 10, 2:35 a.m.

Oklahoma State
Only two players of note posted testing numbers at Oklahoma State’s pro day:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Blake Jarwin	TE	6-5	246	4.76	—	—	21	—	34.5	—	—	—
Jhajuan Seales	WR	6-1	206	4.37	—	—	20	—	41.5	10-4	—	—

Blake Jarwin, who has a shot of being selected in the late rounds, did well in the drills. Jhajuan Seales, meanwhile, has off-the-field issues and may not get drafted, but he posted some terrific numbers with a 41.5-inch vertical and a 10-4 broad jump.

Oklahoma State’s top prospect, Vincent Taylor, didn’t do any tests, but performed well in the drills. I have the Texans selecting Taylor in the fourth round of my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.





2017 Pro Day Notes: Thursday, March 9, 1:45 a.m.

Colorado
Colorado’s pro day was overshadowed by the Oklahoma and Alabama performances, but there were still some prospects who generated interest:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Chidobe Awuzie	CB	6-0	202	—	—	—	—	—	39.5	—	8 1/2	30 5/8
Jordan Carrell	DT	6-2	293	4.86	—	—	21	—	31.5	—	—	—
Jimmie Gilbert	OLB	6-4	235	4.62	—	—	12	—	—	—	—	34
Josh Tupou	NT	6-2	353	5.30	—	1.90	29	—	—	—	—	—

Chidobe Awuzie was the lone combine participant of that group. He stood on all his combine numbers, save for the vertical, which he improved from 34.5 to 39.5. I assume the altitude had something to do with that. Colorado’s other top corner, Ahkello Witherspoon, just performed in the drills. Tony Pauline posted these numbers on Draft Analyst.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Thursday, March 9, 1:30 a.m.

Alabama
Several players of note performed at the Alabama pro day. Here are some numbers of note:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Ryan Anderson	LB	6-2	253	4.53	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	31 1/2
Gehrig Dieter	WR	6-2	210	4.58	—	—	15	—	32.5	9-11	—	—
Brandon Greene	TE	6-5	288	—	—	—	22	—	—	—	—	—
ArDarius Stewart	Alabama	5-11	204	—	—	—	10	—	—	—	9 3/8	32 1/2
Dalvin Tomlinson	DT	6-3	310	—	—	—	22	—	—	—	—	33 1/2

Anderson 4.78 at the combine, but improved to 4.75 at his pro day. Dalvin Tomlinson and ArDarius Stewart, meanwhile, were able to bench press at their pro day after refusing to do so in Indianapolis.

Gehrig Dieter and Brandon Greene weren’t at the combine. Neither was offensive lineman Korren Kirven, who pulled his hamstring while running the 40.


2017 Pro Day Notes: Wednesday, March 8, 12:00 p.m.

Oklahoma
Joe Mixon was not invited to the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine because of off-the-field issues. He was recorded punching a woman a couple of years ago, which led to a suspension.

Despite this, there have been reports that Mixon will still be drafted, perhaps as early as the third round. The Chiefs selected a player with similar problems in Tyreek Hill in the fifth round last year, and Mixon projects as the better NFL player. I have Mixon going to Kansas City in the third frame of my 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

Mixon met with the following teams prior to his pro day workout:

Bengals

Browns

Lions

Saints

Mixon excelled Wednesday, posting the following numbers:

Player	Position	Height	Weight	Off. 40 Time	Unoff. 40 Time	10-Yd Split	Bench	3-cone	Vert	Broad	Hand	Arm
Jordan Evans	LB	6-2	232	4.53	—	—	—	7.03	38.5	—	—	—
Joe Mixon	RB	6-1	228	4.43	—	—	21	7.00	35	9-10	—	—
Samaje Perine	RB	5-11	233	4.59	—	—	—	—	—	—	10	30 3/8
Jordan Wade	DT	6-2	310	5.16	—	—	—	—	30	—	—	—
Dede Westbrook	WR	6-0	178	4.37	—	—	—	—	34.5	10-0	9	30 5/8

Those numbers may not stand out, but Mixon’s 7.00 3-cone time would’ve been the sixth-best at the combine. Plus, a 4.43 40 and a 35-inch vertical are both impressive for a 230-pound running back.

Meanwhile, Tony Pauline of Draft Analyst, reported that Westbrook met with the Dolphins. Most of these numbers were found via Pauline’s tweets, and you can follow him @TonyPauline.
