Now that the NFL combine is in the rearview mirror, scouts and other team personnel turn their attention to on-campus pro days that give prospects a chance to build additional momentum or prove that subpar combine workouts were simply blips on the radar screen.
Below is a look at four players who showed well in Indianapolis and could use their pro day workouts to lock down their draft status, and teams that could be possible fits.
Syracuse DE Chandler Jones (http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/29006/chandler-jones) (Scouts Inc. grade: 90)
Jones' length stands out when watching him on tape, and his combine measurements (6-foot-5⅜, 266 pounds; 35½-inch arms) confirmed his impressive dimensions. He also shows a quick first step (1.63-second 10-yard split), and his 22 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press are impressive given how long his arms are. A 35-inch vertical jump and 10-foot broad jump are also noteworthy.
