The Pro Day Thread


I always have an eye out for safeties that are very good at special teams :)

So:




Central Michigan free safety Kavon Frazier had a successful Pro Day, running the 40-yard dash in 4.45 to 4.52 seconds.
He had a 40 1/2 inch vertical leap and a 10-8 broad jump.

Frazier has recovered fully from a small stress fracture in his foot that prevented him from working out at the NFL scouting combine.

Frazier recorded 108 tackles for the Chippewas his senior season.
He had five career interceptions.
Frazier played running back in high school.


The 6-foot, 215-pounder is a big hitter with a nasty streak and outstanding range.

Also had a 6.98 3-cone.

Well we know how much BB loves his 3 cone time. I don't mind taking the kid but lets hope he is not a 2nd or 3rd round surprise :p

That'll be Keanu Neal :)
 


Could this be 'the guy'. We met with him at the combine. Excellent size.

Yeah, I keep coming back to him as a replacement for the Browner / Talib body type, but there's not a lot of film readily available against good competition. Pure projection, but good size and athletic numbers. I'd be all aboard that train later in the draft.

Edit: As I mentioned, he's a pure projection, because film tells us almost nothing. His technique is just about non-existent in this video:



That said, he showed well at the Senior Bowl, and his press man was pretty clean from the clips I saw. Still, he doesn't have that killer instinct I value in my defensive players. Compare his highlights to someone like McDaniels, who will likely be available in the 7th, and you'll immediately see the difference in aggression:

Yeah, that's pretty bad. I have to wonder if he has some sort of nagging injury. If not, that pretty much takes him off my board.

Agreed. Me too.

Must admit, I didn't think he looked that athletic when I watched him. Liked him, but he never got the juices flowing like Miller or Shepard. Would take either of those in a heartbeat.
 
Tony Pauline has said he's heard he could go as high as the 4th round.

Previously mentioned German receiver Moritz Wilhelm Boehringer put up Olympian-type of numbers. He measured 6044, 227 pounds, posted a vertical jump of 39 inches, a broad jump of 10-11, timed anywhere from 4.38 to 4.45 in the 40 while also running 4.09 in the short shuttle and 6.64 in the 3-cone. Wow!! I'm told he also looked good catching the ball

Only been playing football since 2013 I believe.
 
Glad I put him on my big board now.

Talk of the day it seems. Those are unreal numbers for anyone, let alone a guy who could be a move TE.

I like these late session guys who pop out of nowhere.
 
Kamalei Correa had a 6.87 3-cone at his pro day. I need to watch him.

At this size he needs to be Von Miller. He's just not. Don't think he's a bad player, but I wouldn't spend a second on him. His jumping numbers are really subpar for someone of his weight, and that concerns me. I'd rather draft someone with a slower 40 and exceptional explosion. Looking at the Patriots edge players drafted in the last several years, they seem to agree -- most of them are 4.8 guys with long arms, solid 3 cone times, and good jumping numbers. All were noted for their playing strength.

If we're going DE/OLB with 60, Calhoun is the only one who has the upside and fits the emerging profile.

Have you watched Ngakoue yet?
 
No, admittedly. I should go back and review. Seems kinda small, though. Not sure where he would fit in our defense.

I'm thinking they might look at a pure 3rd down Edge rusher. I'm sure I read somewhere that he's very good at stunts. We ran the 3rd most stunts in the NFL last year so that would make some sense. Not 100% sure it was Ngakoue they were talking about though.
 
Representatives from 12 NFL teams were present for Navy's pro day on March 18. The main attraction was record-setting quarterback Keenan Reynolds. Unfortunately, due to a hamstring issue, Reynolds was unable to complete his workout and held a second pro day on March 30.

Reynolds -- 5-foot-9 1/2, 190 pounds -- had a 37-inch vertical jump, 10-foot broad jump and did 15 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. However, while running a 4.57-second 40-yard dash, Reynolds tweaked his hamstring and that ended his pro-day workout prematurely.

So, 12 days later, Reynolds was able to continue with his positional workout, during which he worked out at quarterback, running back, defensive back and as a slot receiver. The position that best fits him in the NFL is as a slot receiver.

Reynolds is described as a rare person, even among all of the rare people who get their education at the Naval Academy. Reynolds has off-the-charts leadership abilities.

Navy's Keenan Reynolds works out at four positions
