Pro Day Tracker

Cornerback Prince Miller, who was not invited to the combine, had one of the best days in Athens. The smallish cover man (Miller measured 5-8, 190) completed 22 reps on the bench, touched 37 inches in the vertical jump and posted a 40 time in the low 4.4s.

• Barry Church raised eyebrows during Toledo's pro day this morning.

The big defensive back weighed 220 pounds, four less than the combine, and ran 40 times which clocked right around the 4.6 range, almost one-tenth faster than his time from Indianapolis. Scouts are torn whether Church projects to outside linebacker or safety in the NFL. He was successful at both spots in college and the athleticism Church displayed this morning will give coaches even more confidence in his abilities.

It is rare for NFL scouts to travel in large numbers to Bowling Green State for a pro day, but that's exactly what's happening. They will be on hand to watch the workout of record-setting receiver Freddie Barnes. His 155 receptions in 2009 set an NCAA mark as Barnes also registered 19 touchdowns and 1,770 receiving yards. Despite being graded as a legitimate mid-to-late round prospect, Barnes did not receive an invitation to last month's combine, which surprised many in the scouting community.

Many are concerned about his speed and quickness so a good athletic workout this afternoon is important for Barnes.

• The Georgia Bulldogs will also be performing for NFL decision makers today in Athens. Junior linebacker Rennie Curran hopes to complete the entire workout this time around. During the combine, Curran was sidelined after pulling his hamstring on his first attempt in the 40.

• Monday, afternoon almost a dozen teams traveled to Ypsilanti, Mich., for pro day at Eastern Michigan. Just about all were on hand to watch quarterback Andy Schmitt. Considered a potential late-round pick entering the '09 season, Schmitt saw his year come to a premature end after he tore knee ligaments three games into the campaign. Reconstructive surgery was required to repair the damage.

Despite being just five months removed from surgery, Schmitt threw well for scouts Monday. He measured 6-4, 230, threw into a strong wind but displayed a solid arm and was accurate with his deep throws. Schmitt is someone to keep on the radar screen in the very late rounds of next month's draft.

Several LSU Tigers drew rave reviews today after their pro-day workout.

Cornerback Chris Hawkins came away a big winner. After improving his 40 time, Hawkins looked the best of all the defensive backs in position drills. Unlike the combine, his footwork and hip movement today was fluid and quick. Hawkins may have just secured a spot for himself in the middle rounds.
