Dallas Cowboys among the 1st teams to identify Bryan McCann at SMU with the possibility of being a worthy draftable player.
per cowboys.scout.com
McCann measured in at 5-foot-10 ¼ ,182 pounds. The lightest participant at SMU’s Pro Day, McCann posted 14 reps on the NFL-standard 225-pound bench press and jumped 10 feet, five inches in the broad jump.
But the events that drew cheers from teammates were the vertical jump, in which McCann jumped 40 ½ inches, and the 40-yard dash. On his first attempt at the 40 — Ford Stadium’s field is not thought of as a particularly fast track — McCann clocked a sizzling 4.32 … a time made more impressive by the fact that he ran it in to the wind. When the runners reversed directions, he ran even faster, clocking a 4.28, which is .15 seconds faster than any cornerback ran at the NFL Combine last month.
The scouts and coaches in attendance were impressed. Several snatched up DVD copies of his bio that his agent, John Biggins, had at Pro Day. The Cowboys were impressed enough that they called Biggins immediately after the afternoon’s events.
