Some Notes About UM's Pro Day

UM typically has one of the most attended Pro Day's in all of college football, but understandable this turnout wasn't going to be as high as usual with the lack of overall talent this team has suffered from of late. However, 15 prospects still worked at for NFL scouts and for the most part improved their stock.

If you want an in-depth look at how we did, read Manny's blog and the Sun-Sentinel's coverage of the workouts. Pretty much everyone who took part improved on their Combine workouts. Guys like Darnell Jenkins, Tavares Gooden, and Kyle Wright shaved a tenth or two off their 40 times.

While that's great news for our kids, I'd still take it with a grain of salt. You never know what kind of advantages our guys have at our own Pro Day, so I'm sure scouts will take note of the fact that our players had slower times on a neutral field. Regardless, improving on your numbers doesn't hurt your stock at all, so I'm happy that they all made themselves a little bit of money and/or job security for next season.
