Pro Day Tracker

After a full slate of pro days earlier this week, the pace slowed Friday as just a few schools performed workouts for NFL scouts. Players not invited to the combine got an opportunity to shine, while several who were in Indianapolis improved on their performances.

• Missouri State tight end Clay Harbor continues to move up draft boards. Running outdoors on field turf, Harbor timed in the mid 4.5-second range (4.56/4.57) in the 40. That's a major improvement from the combine, where Harbor's marks were clocked in the upper 4.6-area. His 4.24-second short shuttle run was also much faster. Harbor, who completed an unexpected 30 reps on the bench, has solidified himself as a mid-round choice in April's draft.

• Tulane receiver Jeremy Williams, who ran disappointing times at the combine, was significantly faster today. His time of 4.44 seconds in the 40 was almost two-tenths of a second better than his combine mark. Williams, who played well at the Senior Bowl, has moved into the middle rounds.

Running back Andre Anderson, who returned from a shoulder injury in 2008 to put up career numbers last season, looked very athletic during the Tulane workout. Anderson, who weighed in over 210 pounds, posted a 39-inch vertical jump and ran his 40 as fast as 4.52 seconds.

• Vanderbilt DE Steven Stone was graded as a potential late-round pick entering the season and his workout today may have pushed him into the draft's final selections. Stone measured 6-foot-5 and 270 pounds, then proceeded to turn in a vertical jump of 35-inches and run a three cone time of 6.99-seconds, a terrific mark for someone his size. Stone was put through a battery of defensive line and linebacker drills by NFL scouts, as there's a feeling the athletic prospect could easily add another 20 pounds to his frame.

• Middle Tennessee's Chris McCoy came out of nowhere last season and has been steadily moving up draft boards since September. Almost two-dozen teams were on hand at MTSU to watch the pass-rushing terror work out, and McCoy did not disappoint. He ran a 40 time in the low 4.7-second area at 261-pounds, posted a vertical jump of 33.5 inches and a broad jump of 10'3''. McCoy lined up in a three-point stance in college, but projects to linebacker in the NFL. Many of the teams at the workout use a 3-4 alignment on defense and were impressed with the ease with which McCoy was able to move in reverse when simulating pass coverage skills. He's secured a spot for himself in the later rounds.

Offensive lineman Chris Marinelli, one of the more athletic blockers in the nation not invited to last months combine, showed why he's highly regarded in the scouting community. During Stanford's pro day the 301-pound blocker ran his 40 as fast as 5.04 seconds, posted a vertical jump of 30 1/2 inches and ran a solid three-cone time of 7.45 seconds. He completed a disappointing 16 reps on the bench press, yet Marinelli is getting plenty of interest from zone blocking teams.

In Oregon, the wait was worth it for LeGarrette Blount. The maligned prospect stunned scouts by posting forty times which ranged in the mid 4.5 second area, a full two-tenths faster than his combine mark. Several scouts clocked Blount in times of 4.53 and 4.55 seconds after he weighed in at 238 pounds. The forty was the only item Blount had on his schedule today.

TJ Ward was another prospect from Oregon who significantly improved his numbers from the combine. His 40 time, which was clocked as fast as 4.46 by scouts, was also two-tenths faster than his performance in Indy. Ward also timed well in the short shuttle (4.07 seconds) and three cone (6.78). His performance may have sealed the safety as a top 60 choice next month.

The workout at Virginia Tech is finished and junior defender Jason Worilds impressed the scouts on hand. He improved his 40 time from the combine, running twice in the low 4.5-second area. His short shuttle time of 4.08 seconds was terrific. Worilds, who measured just over 6-foot-1 and 254 pounds at the combine, was put through defensive line drills by the Carolina Panthers and linebacker drills by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Today's performance could help him sneak into the final stages of round two.
