— According to sources close to quarterback Paxton Lynch, the Memphis star worked out for the Dallas Cowboys this week and met with team owner Jerry Jones, his son Stephen and director of playerpersonnel Will McClay. Said the source, “Paxton is very much in the mix for [Dallas].”
— Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook has come under fire after not being voted a team captain in the fall, and that was predictably a big topic for teams at his pro day. A scout in attendance told me the actual workout went well, with Cook connecting on 59 of 67 passes overall. On passes thrown over 20 yards, Cook went an eye-opening 16-of-17.
— Penn State held its pro day this week too, and the big name wasChristian Hackenberg. One college scouting director told me after that Hackenberg “looks like how we’d design a quarterback” but “struggled with accuracy...again.” He graded Hackenberg’s performance as a B-minus.
— The North Dakota State pro day, featuring Carson Wentz, was televised on NFL Network for all to see. A scout who worked Wentz out before the pro day said he was amazed at how NFL-ready he is from a mental standpoint. Said the scout, “I’ve never seen a rookie handle the whiteboard like [Wentz] did.”
— Jared Goff was the main attraction at the California pro day, and he didn’t disappoint. One coach I spoke to said Goff “did everything you could hope for” in the workout. He was not on hand to see Cleveland Browns coach Pep Hamilton spraying footballs down with water for Goff to throw, but he did add they have “zero concerns” regarding Goff’s 9 ⅛” hands.
— A source with the Carolina Panthers told me the team worked out Clemson defenders Jayron Kearse and Shaq Lawson this week. Lawson, who is gaining steam as a potential top-10 pick, isn’t expected to be on the board at pick No. 31, barring a failed physical when NFL doctors check his shoulder again later this month.
— The Indianapolis Colts worked out Eastern Kentucky’s Noah Spencethis week, according to a source with the team. Spence, who dominated the Senior Bowl, would be an ideal fit at "Sam" linebacker in the Colts defense.
— The AFC North has taken notice of Ohio State wide receiver Michael Thomas. I’m told by sources with the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals that the former Buckeye ranks as the top receiver on both of their draft boards.
