Pro Day Tracker

In Waco, Texas, ten teams showed up to watch Oklahoma State cornerback Perrish Cox work out.

Cox tipped the scales at 191 pounds, four less than his combine weight. His 40-yard times ranged as fast as 4.45 seconds with the wind and around 4.57 when running into the wind. Those unofficial times represent an improvement from his combine performance. Cox posted times of 6.7 seconds in the three cone as well as 11.62 in the 60-yard shuttle, both solid marks. He did not participate in either event at the combine. He was fluid and effective in position drills with a number of scouts mentioning that Cox looks fit.

Not far from Waco, Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant finally held his individual workout. His results were far from spectacular and the word is that he looked ill-prepared to perform in front of scouts. His 40 times ranged from the mid 4.5-second area to as slow as 4.63 seconds. He looked out of sorts during his three cone and shuttle runs, reportedly because he forgot to bring his running cleats to the workout. Bryant was forced to wear a brand new pair of cleats that were not properly broken in and, as a result, he has done a lot of slipping and sliding during his 40 and shuttle runs. Even worse, scouts have reported that Bryant seems unmotivated and is not giving a great deal of effort. This is not going to help his draft stock, which has been in a free fall.

Wind played a factor at the South Florida pro day. Defensive end George Selvie slightly improved his times in the 40 from those he posted in the combine, running in the low-to-mid 4.9 seconds area. Receiver Carlton Mitchell made an even greater improvement. Mitchell was swift running with the wind, timing in 4.41 and 4.42 seconds while his times into the wind were a respectable. His fastest official hand time during the combine was 4.46 seconds.

Safety Nate Allen, who was hopeful of working today after sitting out the combine with a quad injury, suffered a flare-up of the muscle ailment during the broad jump and was unable run for scouts. Allen later did position drills despite the leg injury. He plans on running for scouts prior to the draft once his quad is better.

Jason Pierre-Paul and George Selvie both looked solid when running through defensive line and linebacker drills.

One day after Sam Bradford's terrific workout there are three big events on the schedule this afternoon.

Scouts are in Tampa as South Florida steps to the forefront . Safety Nate Allen, a potential second-round choice who missed combine workouts with a quad injury, is participating today. Defensive end George Selvie hopes to improve from his disappointing performance in Indianapolis, while fast rising receiver Carlton Mitchell hopes to better the surprisingly good times he turned in at the combine.

Cornerback Perrish Cox, who also ran poorly at the combine then was disallowed from participating in Oklahoma State's pro-day by head coach Mike Gundy, is holding a private workout today in Waco.

Finally UCLA also has its workout this afternoon.
