Second week of pro days to wrap

March 17, 2023

Second week of pro days to wrap … The second week on the pro day schedule wraps up later today with a big workout at Michigan. Of course, the majority of major programs are still to come in the next two weeks including Ohio State and Alabama on back-to-back days next Wednesday and Thursday when star QBs CJ Stroud and Bryce Young will throw. For some reason, though, there really hasn’t been much news out of the various pro days so far. We do know, for example, that all 32 teams had reps at yesterday’s Georgia Tech pro day; we also know that rising DE Keion White pulled up with a tweaked hamstring on his second 40 run. The school did report that pro scouts had his first run timed between 4.65 and 4.75 seconds which would be good enough if those numbers could be trusted, but we’re guessing the actual number was something in the 4.82 range. Yellowjackets’ TE/WR EJ Jenkins also reportedly had a pretty good day running in the 4.6 range at 6-6, 245, although he only had a 32-inch vertical. At the same time, the best we have been able to find on Army DE/LB Andre Carter’s work out yesterday was a quote from the player that he felt that he had ‘done okay.’ Meanwhile, Senior Bowl exec director Jim Nagy tweeted that Tulane RB Tyjae Spears was timed in just under 4.5 seconds in the 40 at the Green Wave pro day yesterday, although those were likely hand held times. Interestingly, it was the NY Giants, who are looking for a 2nd back to pair with Saquon Barkley, that took Spears out to dinner after the workout.
