Ashland should be an impressive pro-day.

 

[RS12]

All 32 teams are represented at the Oklahoma State pro day which features several prominent players who did not receive combine invitations.

The players are presently going through position drills but here’s what I can tell you thus far.

It’s been a really good day for receiver Jhajuan Seales who measured 6-foot-1 and 206 pounds, about two inches taller than scouts expected. His forty times have clocked between 4.37s to 4.42s, while he touched 41.5 inches in the vertical jump. His broad jump measured 10-foot-4 while he completed 20 reps on the bench.

Seales has looked good catching the ball as has tight end Blake Jarwin, a Shrine Game standout who entered the season stamped as a potential second day pick by NFL scouts.

Philadelphia Eagles coach Justin Peelle is running Jarwin through the tight end drills.

I’ve yet to receive forty times and jump marks for Jarwin, who completed 21 reps on the bench.

[RS12]

With as many as three players who could sneak into the draft’s 100 picks, including first round prospect Carl Lawson, there’s a lot of interest surrounding Auburn’s pro-day. Here are the early reports.

Safety Rudy Ford chose not to run at the combine on Monday and participated only in the bench press where he completed 20 reps. He did run the forty today and early reports are he was quick. A number of watches had Ford under 4.4s, with some of the faster times around the 4.35s range.

Defensive tackle Montravius Adams ran in the upper 4.8s, right where he was at the combine.

Carl Lawson did not run the forty or bench and is likely to stand on most, if not all, of his combine marks.

Receiver Tony Stevens, who we frequently mentioned during Shrine Week, ran his forty’s under 4.5s (4.48s/4.45s) and touched 34.5 inches in the vertical jump.

I’m told there have been no sightings of Jovon Robinson, the very talented but troubled running back who was dismissed from the Auburn program last August.

Josh holsey should be an udfa from auburn. Potential Scandrick replacement

 

[RS12]

In a rare Saturday pro day, Washington hosts the NFL as teams will be on hand to view as many as four first round prospects from the program, including three defensive backs.

From what I’ve been told, except for a vertical jump here and a broad jump there, just about all of the top Husky prospects will be standing on their numbers from last week’s combine.

Receiver John Ross, who’ll be undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum next week, is scheduled to catch passes today.

New York Jets fans should keep an eye on junior Sidney Jones as I’m told the team is high on the cornerback and are bringing him in for an official visit prior to the draft.

Jones presently grades as our the top cornerback on our board.

I’m told the Tennessee Titans have a large contingent of higher ups from the organization on hand.

UPDATE 5PM

The big news of the day is the injury to Sidney Jones.

I’m told it took place during drills and, as posted on twitter, the “field turf got him.” Literally minutes before the injury occurred I received a text on how good Jones was looking up to that point during ball drills. As texted to me prior to Jones going down, he looked every bit a top 15 draft pick. Before position drills Jones participated in the bench press where he completed 12 reps.

Cornerback Kevin King had a exceptional workout. The tall corner moved well displaying a smooth backpedal and was very quick in all his actions. He caught all the passes thrown during drills.

King, who met with the Detroit Lions last night, stood on all his combine numbers. He’s meeting with the San Diego Chargers later today and has a private workout set up with the New York Jets.

Budda Baker also looked terrific in drills. He was very explosive and practiced with terrific speed.

Tight end Darrell Daniels also stood on his combine numbers but looked tremendous in pass catching drills. Daniels, who was described as a “specimen who looks the part” ran crisp routes, caught the ball well and showed a great catch radius. The belief among many is Daniels was hurt by being the third option in the UW offense, which features two next level receivers.

The Miami Dolphins are showing heavy interest in Daniels.

UPDATE 5:30PM

The word on John Ross is he ran exceptional routes displaying great quickness into breaks and he caught the ball well. How fast is Ross? He ran several go patterns and deep routes but the passes were constantly underthrown. Ross is set for surgery on Tuesday at University of Washington to repair his torn labrum.

More on Sidney Jones.

I’m told he was backpedaling during a drill, went to flip his hips, then the turf grabbed his foot.

Those who witnessed his said the injured foot was tough to look at with one person telling me it was “grotesque” the way his left foot was hanging.

Kansas State

Jordan Willis continued his assault up draft boards.

Understandably he stood on his remarkable combine numbers bit participated in positions drills at both linebacker and defensive end and he looked terrific.

Those on hand Willis looked as fluid as the two KSU linebackers who worked out. He was smooth in his backpedal and easily moved in space. As one team put it Willis is a terrific athlete with high character and an easy evaluation with no holes.

The Philadelphia Eagles had their defensive line coach on hand while the Tampa Bay Bucs sent their assistant defensive line coach to the pro day. Over the next ten days Willis has five private workouts on his schedule.

Linebacker Charmeachealle Moore had a terrific day.

After measuring 5115/230 pounds more completed 22 reps on the bench, touched 34 inches on the vertical jump and 10-foot even in the broad jump.

His time in the forty came in as low as 4.61s. Moore looked terrific in position drills.

I’m told he met with seven teams afterwards with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs spending a little extra time with Moore to administer combine like personality tests.

South Carolina

Results are dribbling in from South Carolina pro day and it seems defensive end/outside linebacker Darius English performed exceedingly well.

English measured 6053/248 pounds, 12 pounds heavier than his Shrine Game weight. He completed 19 reps on the bench press, touched 35 inches on the vertical jump and 10-foot-9 on the broad jump. He timed the forty in the low 4.7s then did both defensive end and linebacker drills.

As we stated in our scouting report, English was ignored by scouts entering the season and was not invited to the combine. Despite that he has all the makings of a designated pass rusher for the next level and can come out of a three point stance or stand up over tackle.

The Los Angeles Chargers and Cleveland Browns both met with English.

The only numbers I have thus far on linebacker T J Holloman is 23 reps on the bench press -- a solid number. The more interesting note is the fact the New England Patriots attended the workout specifically to watch Holloman. In fact I’m told the franchise spent a great deal of time with him during the College Gridiron Showcase in Texas which took place the second week of January.

Holloman is the type of prospect the Patriots select late in the draft then eventually turn him into a starting linebacker.

[Alexander]

Not the worst time for Williams.

 

[Alexander]

Doesn't really look 4.5 though.

 

[Risen Star]

Doesn't really look 4.5 though.

I'm always skeptical of pro day numbers. You didn't do it on the level playing field of the combine so it doesn't mean much to me.

 

[DBOY3141]

Doesn't really look 4.5 though.

" A drunken giraffe being chased by a lion..lol". Gotta love the comments.

Clemson

As is the case with most pro days, forty times are unofficial and all over the place.

Sources timing on the ground tell me they had receivers Mike Williams at 4.51s/4.49s and Artavis Scott at 4.50s/4.51s, tight end Jordan Leggett 4.69s/4.68s, defensive tackle Carlos Watkins at 5.00s/5.01s and linebacker Ben Boulware at 4.79s.

Expect for one deep pass which was an outright drop Mike Williams caught the ball very well. Once again he showed the ability to snatch the pass from the air with his hands and is very natural catching the ball. His route running is awful. Williams rounds his routes and shows little in the way of quickness into his breaks.

I thought Artavis Scott did relatively well during the position drills. He caught the ball well and shows a lot of quickness in hi game. Scott is going to be a late round gem as a slot receiver/return specialist.

Tight end Jordan Leggett was a big winner today. He ran well in the forty, was timed in the three cone at 7.15s and caught the ball well.

While he had a solid pro day I thought Deshaun Watson threw the ball better during the combine. Much has been made about Watson’s ball speed and the MPH. I’m more concerned with receivers waiting for passes to arrive or slowing up in routes so the ball can arrive versus MPH on the ball. I saw that often today. That’s a combination of ball speed as well as timing and it’s a dangerous intangible on Sunday.

More as it comes in.

Illinois

The workout at Illinois is just beginning. I’m told at least 20 teams are on hand.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback coach is on hand to watch Wes Lunt.

Kevin Greene of the New York Jets is presently working out Dawuane Smoot and Carroll Phillips.

This is the third consecutive pro day Greene has run the linebacker drills as he was on hand directing the Youngstown State workout on Tuesday and in Wisconsin yesterday for the Badgers duo.

UNC Charlotte

The UNC Charlotte pro day was held outside yesterday in windy 18 degree temperatures. I received a variety of opinions on Larry Ogunjobi with the majority of them being positive.

He was worked hard for 20 minutes by the Cincinnati Bengals and except for hitting a few bags with his feet during drills (teams want to see clean footwork in drills) he looked good. Once again comments were made on how ripped and physically fit Ogunjobi looked.

Keep an eye on running back Kalif Phillips. Measuring 5093/218, Phillips timed 4.64s in the forty, 4.35s in the short shuttle and 7s in the three cone. He also completed 17 reps on the bench press.

Phillips is getting a lot of attention from the Los Angeles Chargers. The Green Bay Packers are also showing interest in the sturdy ball carrier.

Portland State

There were two players of mention from pro day at PSU, which was held Wednesday.

Cornerback Xavier Coleman, who received a priority free agent grade from scouts entering the season, measured 5110/190 pounds, completed 17 reps on the bench, touched 40 inches on the vertical jump and 10-foot-5 in the broad. His forty time averaged 4.48s, he clocked 4.13s in the short shuttle and 6.86s in the three cone.

Coleman has an official pre draft visit scheduled with the Seattle Seahawks.

Center/guard Cam Keizur, who’s rated slightly higher on our board than his teammate, measured 6035/303 pounds, completed 29 reps on the bench, 35.5 in the vertical jump and 9-foot-3 in the broad jump. His forty time of 5.1s included a 1.75s ten yard split. His short shuttle was 4.7s and three cone 7.68s.

Keizur has a visit scheduled with the Atlanta Falcons and a workout with the Detroit Lions.

[RS12]

Here’s our initial report pro day from Oregon State as well as an update from Arizona State.

I’m told about two dozen teams were on hand for Oregon State pro day including the New York Jets who sent their defensive backs and special teams coach.

Receiver Victor Bolden timed 4.53s in the forty while his best three cone timed 6.69s. Both marks were slightly better than his combine performance.

Bolden is one of those guys who plays much faster than his forty time. On film he’s a big play threat at receiver and as a return specialist. Afterwards Bolden spent a bit of time with the New York Jets who feel the addition of Bolden would immediately improve their return game.

Treston DeCoud timed the forty in the mid 4.5s, with a number of teams reading 4.55s on their stop watch. His vertical jump hit 30.5 inches.

Like his teammate DeCoud is a much better football player than pure athlete. He’s a solid cornerback but the lack of pure speed, both in the forty and on film, makes me believe he’s better off inside at safety.

The team's other defensive back, Devin Chappell, posted a 35 inch vertical jump, 9-foot-8 broad and completed 17 on the bench. He timed 4.61s in the forty, 4.32s in the short shuttle and 7.09s in the three cone.

He later interviewed with the Miami Dolphins.

Offensive lineman Dustin Stanton measured 6054/300 pounds, touched 30 inches in the vertical jump, 9-foot-1 in the broad and completed 19 reps on the bench. His forty time clocked as fast as 5.19s.

Stanton began his college career at tight end then went on to start at both guard and tackle on the right side for the Beavers. Yet many teams, the Atlanta Falcons being first and foremost, like his potential at center.

Stanton had been training with former New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss in the lead up to pro day and did some snapping to Drew Bledsoe, the first pick of the 1993 draft. I’m told the New York Jets also have an interest in Stanton.

Linebacker Caleb Saulo timed 4.9s in the forty, 4.59s in the short shuttle and 7.44s in the three cone. He also touched 30 inches in the vertical jump.

Small school tight end Andrey Avgi of Western Oregon also took part in the workout and turned some heads.

Avgi, who played four year of basketball at Western Oregon and spent just two on the gridiron, measured 6050/263 pounds, completed 17 reps on the bench, touched 35.5 inches in the vertical jump and 10-foot-2 in the broad. His forty timed 4.77s, while the short shuttle clocked 4.12s and three cone 6.90s.

Avgi is an intriguing prospect as he’s a talented athlete with terrific size. He met with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night and is drawing interest from the Cleveland Browns.

Arizona State

Sun Devils receiver/return specialist Tim White clocked 4.52s in the forty, touched 38.5 inches in the vertical jump and 10-foot-10 in the broad. He did an array of receiver drills while also fielded punts and kicks.

White projects as a slot receiver/return specialist at the next level. The New York Giants are brining him to town for a visit.

Some of the kicks White fielded were from the leg of Zane Gonzalez whom, as we stated, will be the first kicker off the board and is projected as a middle round pick.

I’m told Gonzalez looked good during pro day. He’s already been worked out privately by the Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs.
