Oklahoma (March 11)
Oklahoma is one of the favorite stops for NFL scouts on the Pro Day circuit -- partly because Oklahoma's Jerry Schmitt gets them in and out in short order and partly because they serve up some great barbecue to their guests.

Twelve players worked out, indoors on a Field Turf surface. Much to the chagrin of the scouts however, DB Reggie Smith and WR Malcolm Kelly skipped the Pro Day workouts and instead it was announced they would hold a separate workout on April 9.
