Pro days offers NFL Draft prospects a more comfortable situation than the NFL Scouting Combine to showcase their talents, as they’re surrounded by old teammates at facilities they’ve been using for years.
That was the case earlier this week for pass rusher Eli Harold and several other University of Virginia products in Charlottesville, Va.
Harold – who is projected to go in the late first-round by both Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN – benched 225 pounds 24 times and recorded a 34.5-inch vertical leap.
Combine that with the 4.6 second 40-yard dash he ran in Indianapolis, and Harold’s hoping his stock continues to remain among the highest entering the draft.
In three seasons at Virginia, Harold recorded 75 tackles – 36.5 for loss – and 17.5 sacks.
Max Valles, meanwhile, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.84 second and recorded a 36-inch vertical leap.
In 22 games as a Cavalier, Valles, the youngest prospect in the draft at 20 years old, recorded 32 tackles and 13 sacks.
While some associate Valles as a raw prospect, the 6-foot-5, 251 pounder believes the best is yet to come.
“I’m only going to get better,” Valles said. “I still haven’t really grown to my full potential. I feel like my ceiling’s very high. I’m definitely going to get much better.”
