Pro Day Tracker

Will this workout be enough to make him the first pick of the draft? At the very least, the skills Bradford displayed today give the St Louis Rams more justification if they grab the signal caller at the top of round one.

Sooner running back Chris Brown was another standout during today's pro day event. His 40 was timed at 4.55 seconds, much better than his mark at the combine where he hurt his hamstring. His three-cone of 7.07 seconds was also a solid mark. He looked terrific in pass catching drills, too.

Earlier, Brown told us he was not surprised by the workout Bradford turned in this morning. "Sam was here working with us last week, getting the timing down, and he was throwing the ball incredibly well in practice," he said.

Tight end Brody Eldridge ran well today during the OU pro day. His times in the 40 ranged between 4.70 and 4.77 seconds, which are good for the 260-pound prospect. Eldridge, who also saw time on the offensive line for the Sooners last season, is one of the better blocking tight ends in April's draft.

Utah: Scouts gathered in Utah today for a second workout by the Utes. Kao Misi completed 23 reps on the bench, a higher number than his strength coach had expected. Misi weighed in at 249 pounds. After a terrific showing at the Senior Bowl, a fine combine performance, and good pro day workouts, Misi has built momentum up the draft boards.

Stephen F. Austin: Tim Knicky is a late-round sleeper to keep an eye on. A half dozen teams were on hand this morning to watch SFA work out and Knicky was incredibly impressive. The small-school prospect measured 6-feet 4-inches and 252 pounds, posted a 33.5-inch vertical jump, and ran the 40 in times that ranged between 4.63 and 4.67 seconds. The defensive end was later put through linebacker drills and he looked outstanding.

The final week of pro-day workouts starts today with a barnburner. Sam Bradford is expected to workout and throw for scouts today in Norman, Oklahoma. Several of his Sooner teammates will also be participating in the workout. Defensive lineman Corey Wootton is also working out for scouts today as he returns to full health from the knee injury he sustained more than one year ago. We'll also be monitoring the Stephen F. Austin pro-day where small school prospect Tim Knicky works out for scouts.

Notes: Lost in the excitement of Kyle Wilson's pro-day performance last week was the fact that he weighed in at 185 pounds, nine less than his combine weight when he completed 25 reps on the bench press.

South Dakota State had a dozen scouts on hand for their pro-day on Friday, in large part to watch defensive end/outside linebacker Danny Batten. Batten measured 6-feet 2-1/2-inches, weighed 244 pounds, posted a 35-inch vertical and ran the 40 in times between 4.66 and 4.72 seconds. Batten's three cone was a very swift 7.04 seconds. He previously completed 30 reps on the bench during his first pro-day workout, which took place on March 23. Batten reminds us of a better version of former Wheaton star Andy Studebaker, a sixth round draft pick in 2008 who is now playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Almost twenty teams were on hand as junior tight end Rob Gronkowski finally ran for scouts during an unusual Saturday workout. It was worth the wait.
