For the Warriors’ top prospects — receiver Greg Salas and running back Alex Green — it was a chance to answer questions from scouts. Both did well enough at the NFL Scouting Combine in February to rest on those performances. Their agents advised them not to risk injury by participating in the running or jumping tests. Both are expected to be selected in this month’s NFL Draft. Green has received invitations for private workouts with the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans.
Silva, a safety, led the Warriors in interceptions in 2010, but had not drawn as much interest. That changed yesterday, when he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds and had a vertical jump of 40 inches.
Officials initially said Silva’s vertical was 42 inches, which would have set a UH pro-day record. But after the NFL scouts met, it was decided that Silva did not cleanly hit the 42-inch marker
