Pro-Day 3-23: Notre Dame/North Carolina/Mississippi
23 Mar
http://www.draftinsider.net/blog/?p=1571
Tuesday’s pro-day is highlighted by a number of top programs as Notre Dame, Mississippi and North Carolina will workout for NFL scouts and coaches. Today’s workout will be as important for those who will not be working out.
North Carolina
Aleric Mullins, who was given medical clearance to workout today after being held out of the combine, turned in an impressive performance.
Mullins weighed in at 319-pounds and ran 40 times which hovered around the 4.9-second area, with some watches reading 4.87 seconds. He completed 35 reps on the bench and was terrific in position drills.
A minor red flag popped up on Mullins during combine exams and doctors decided to hold him out of the workouts. The issue was satisfactorily cleared up well before today’s event. The New England Patriots will be working out Mullins tomorrow.
Sources have also told us defensive tackle Cam Thomas looked strong during today’s position work.
Iowa State
Reggie Stephens, who many thought should have been received an invitation to the combine, made up for lost time today during the Iowa State pro-day. Stephens weighed 314-pounds, completed 31 reps on the bench press than ran the 40 in a time of 5.26-seconds. He looked very athletic in drills, due in large part to the fact Stephens has dropped 14 pounds since the season ended. Chicago Bears offensive line coach Mike Tice ran the workout..
Mississippi
Update 3PM
By all accounts it was a very successful day for Jevan Snead. He threw more than 50 passes and all but two were completed. His passes were crisp in the short field and Snead was very accurate with his deep throws. Scouts said of all the quarterbacks they’ve watched throw the ball this year today’s performance by Snead was the best. A number of team coaches and decision makers wanted to be at today’s workout but were unable to because of the league meetings taking place. There’s a chance Snead may hold another workout.
Receiver Shay Hodge ran the forty in times of 4.51 and 4.57 then caught the ball well in position drills.
The times and marks at the Mississippi pro-day event have been fast today, even though it’s being performed on a slippery field turf.
The Rebels explosive skill player Dexter McCluster was exactly that, explosive. He ran 40 times which hovered in the low 4.4-second area. Some scouts had McCluster as fast as 4.39 seconds. His three cone time was also swift at 6.59 seconds. McCluster’s forty time represents an improvement of .15 seconds over his combine.
Defensive end Greg Hardy also showed improvement from his performance in Indianapolis. His 40 times were clocked as fast as 4.76 seconds on several watches, compared to the 4.9’s he ran at the combine. Hardy’s vertical jump of 36.5-inches, broad jump of 10-feet 1-inch and three cone of 7.06 seconds were all significantly better than the marks he turned in at the combine.
The Rebels have completed position drills. We The early word is Jevan Snead’s throwing workout was a huge success.
Notes
Jimmy Clausen will not participate in today’s workout in South Bend and has opted to throw for scouts on April 9th. Clausen, who has been throwing to his Notre Dame teammates during training, is expected to attend today’s pro-day and watch from the sidelines.
We have been told that Clausen is expected to use many of these same players including James Aldridge, Golden Tate, Robby Parris and few others, as pass catching targets during his April 9th workout.
