The multi-purpose skill player ran 40 times which hovered in the low 4.4s. Some scouts had McCluster as fast as 4.39 seconds. His three-cone time was also swift at 6.59. McCluster's 40 time represents an improvement of .15 seconds over his combine mark. He did stand on his combine results in the vertical jump, broad jump and short shuttle.

Defensive end Greg Hardy is also someone who's shown improvement from his performance in Indianapolis. His 40 times were clocked as fast as 4.76 seconds on several watches, compared to the 4.9s he ran at the combine. Hardy's vertical jump of 36.5 inches, broad jump of 10-feet, 1-inch and three cone of 7.06 were all significantly better than the marks he turned in at the combine.

The Rebels are preparing to complete the workout by participating in position drills. We will have the bottom line on Jevan Snead's throwing workout a little later on.

Tuesday's pro-day schedule is highlighted by a number of top programs as players from Notre Dame, Mississippi and North Carolina will work out for NFL scouts and coaches.

Jimmy Clausen will not participate in today's workout in South Bend and has opted to throw for scouts on April 9. Clausen, who has been throwing to his Notre Dame teammates during training, is expected to attend today's pro day and watch from the sidelines.

• We noted during the combine that Duke defensive tackle Vince Oghobaase looked sluggish and lacked quickness, in part due to the many injuries he's recently suffered.

Oghobaase significantly improved his numbers during Monday's pro day. He ran the 40 in a time under 5.25 seconds and the short shuttle in 4.58. The latter is comparable to the time Jared Odrick, a likely first round choice, clocked in Indianapolis. Oghobaase told several people after the workout he felt much better yesterday than he did at the combine.

IOWA

More than two dozen NFL teams were on hand to watch several Iowa Hawkeyes workout Monday afternoon, and the highest-rated prospects did not disappoint those who made the trip.

Cornerback Amari Spievey posted slightly better 40 times than at the NFL combine. Most scouts had Spievey in the very low 4.5-second range, while a few stopwatches read 4.49. Spievey looked solid in position drills afterward and secured himself as a top-75 pick.
