Pro Day Tracker

A long pro-day schedule has finally come to a close and with it comes the mention of some fine performances at Illinois.

Receiver/tight end JeffCumberland put on show for scouts. Cumberland, who measured 6-4 and weighed 249, was swift in the 40, running a 4.46. Only one tight end, DorrinDickerson of Pittsburgh, was faster at the combine. His marks in the short shuttle (4.39), three cone (6.89) and vertical jump (35.5) were all impressive. Cumberland is known to be a great athlete, but is he a great football player? He totaled 59 receptions over his four-year career with the and the opinion is Cumberland should have been more productive. Still, these measurables should help him land in the late rounds.

Wideout ArreliousBenn ran the 40 in the low-to-mid 4.4 second area, a major improvement from his performance at the combine. Scouts said Benn caught the ball exceptionally well and has moved back in with a group of receivers that will be drafted starting late in round one.

Isiah "Juice" Williams, who has been working with a quarterback coach in the off season, also looked sharp. Williams, working exclusively at quarterback today, displayed a better throwing motion and improved accuracy. Williams had a long day as he threw the ball during wide receiver, tight end, running back and defensive back drills. When the afternoon ended, some estimated Williams had delivered almost 200 passes.

Tennessee's top prospects chose not to participate in today's workout as both DT Dan Williams and S Eric Berry stood on their combine numbers. Berry was hoping to participate in some of the drills but slightly sprained his toe early in the day and decided to sit on the sidelines. The injury has not been reported as serious.

Jeff Cottam, the one-time highly rated tight end who struggled with a back injury in the middle of his career, turned a few heads today. Cottam measured 6-foot-6.5 and weighed 262 pounds. His official 40 time of 4.79 seconds was not bad considering most of the times today were slow. Cottam looked sensational catching the ball, making a number of athletic receptions. Originally graded as a free agent prospects, Cottam could now get looks in the late rounds.

• At Fresno State, running back Ryan Mathews repeated his 40 times from the combine, running in the 4.45 range. Like at Florida this morning, the field Mathews ran on at Fresno State was soggy from rain.

Mathews' teammate, receiver Seyi Ajirotutu, improved slightly from Indianapolis, running in the low 4.5 seconds area.

Some of the pro-day workouts around the nation, such as Fresno State and Illinois, are still going on.

The position drills have been completed at Florida's pro day.
