Updating Pauline's notes from where I left off:
2012 NFL draft pro day updates - Tony Pauline - SI.com
Thursday, March 15, 12:22 p.m.
• Virginia Tech has finished their pro day, and it was receiver Danny Coale that turned heads.
The steady pass catcher bettered his time of 4.42 seconds from the combine, clocking as fast as 4.37 seconds today. His vertical jump of 37 inches was a two-inch improvement from Indianapolis, while Coale bettered his broad jump mark by 8.5 inches, leaping 10-3 1/2. One of the most underappreciated receivers in the draft, Coale interviewed well at the combine and impressed NFL decision makers with his maturity. He entered the season with late-round grades, but now has the possibility to break into the third round.
Jarrett Boykin was another Hokie wideout who improved his marks from Indianapolis. Boykin's best time of 4.57 seconds was .05 faster than his combine mark.
Several players that did not attend the combine also posted solid numbers.
Safety Eddie Whitley cracked the 4.4-second mark on a number of watches, clocking as fast as 4.38 seconds in the 40.
Chris Hill, a talented cornerback who struggled to break into the deep Hokie secondary, gave scouts a lot to think about with his numbers. Hill touched 37 inches in the vertical jump, completed 13 reps on the bench press and ran 40 times that stopped watches between 4.37 and 4.45 seconds. His three-cone mark of 6.78 seconds and short shuttle time of 4.08 seconds were also impressive. Hill earned an invitation to camp this summer with his pro day performance.
Versatile Chris Drager, who lined up at tight end and linebacker for the Hokies, ran times in the mid 4.8s and posted a three-cone time of 7.13 seconds. He's another who will get into a camp this summer, and Drager should be a demon on special teams.
Missouri had their second pro day today and receiver Jerrell Jackson stole the show, posting an official 40 time 4.37 seconds. His fastest time at the combine was 4.50 seconds.
• Michigan, Oregon and Virginia Tech are the prominent workouts that dot the schedule today. We'll also be keeping watch on Louisiana Tech, where Matt Broha, a sleeper defensive end/outside linebacker who is drawing a lot of interest across the leauge, will perform in front of scouts.
Some finishing notes from yesterday include two outstanding performances.
Defensive back Deshawn Shead, rated as a potential free agent entering the season, wowed the 14 teams that attended the Portland State pro day, which took place in driving rain and windy conditions.
Shead, who lined up at both cornerback and safety for PSU, measured 6-1 and 220 pounds. His testing marks included a 38-inch vertical jump, broad jump of 10-4 and 24 reps on the bench. In adverse conditions, the big defensive back ran the 40 in times as low as 4.51 seconds. There are many who now feel Shead will squeeze into the last round of the draft based on his performance.
Bryce Brown, the one-time highly recruited running back who has played for two different schools since 2009, but totaled just 104 combined carries in both seasons, gave scouts a taste of why there were such great expectations around him. Brown ran 40 times which ranged between 4.37 and 4.45 seconds after tipping the scales at 223 pounds. He touched 34 inches on the vertical jump and completed 22 reps on the bench.
Brown started his career at Tennessee in 2009, where he rushed for 460 yards and three touchdowns on 101 carries as a freshman. He transferred to Kansas State to reunite with his brother, linebacker Arthur Brown, a top prospect for the 2013 NFL Draft. Three games and three carries into his Kansas State career Brown left the program. Unlikely to be selected at any point in next month's draft, Brown is sure to get an invitation to camp this summer based on his awesome natural talent.
Thursday, March 15, 9:04 p.m.
• Two small school prospects that performed at the combine continued to impress scouts Thursday.
Midwestern State offensive lineman Amini Silatolu worked out in front of position coaches in Wichita Falls, Texas this morning. He stood on most of his numbers from Indianapolis, though his 32-inch vertical jump and 9-foot, 3-inch broad jump represented slight improvements. Coaches on hand then put Silatolu through 40 minutes of position work and came away impressed the way the 314-blocker moved around the field. The feeling from most is that the offensive lineman has locked himself in as a top 45 pick.
Samford cornerback Corey White had a sensational workout this morning. His official forty time was clocked at 4.40 seconds, though some teams timed White as fast as 4.36 seconds. Look for White's name to be called early on the final day of the draft.
• Another small school cornerback, Chris Greenwood of Albion College, impressed scouts as well. Greenwood, who was not invited to the combine though did participate in the Shrine Game, took part in Michigan's pro day and was one of the fastest prospects on the field. His numbers Thursday would make many of the defensive backs from the combine blush as Greenwood measured 6-feet, 1.5 inches and 193 pounds then timed as fast as 4.34 seconds in the forty, posted a broad jump of 11 feet, 2 inches and touched 43 inches in the vertical jump. He's a bit unpolished in his technique, yet is considered a terrific developmental prospect and Greenwood is getting consideration by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• At Louisiana Tech, scouts and coaches worked Matt Broha hard at defensive line, linebacker and tight end drills. Broha measured 6 feet, 4 inches and 256 pounds then ran just over 4.8 seconds in the forty. He looked explosive and smooth during defensive drills then caught all 25 passes thrown his way running tight end routes. Broha, who has fallen under the radar, is scheduled to travel to five NFL franchises for pre-draft visits.
His teammate, running back Lennon Creer who was in Indianapolis last month, ran the forty in 4.66-seconds, a slight improvement from his combine times.
• Though we've received no official numbers yet, word from the Virginia pro day is cornerback Chase Minnifield, who has struggled with a knee injury since the 2011 season, did not look all that good this morning. Coming into his senior season Minnifield was graded as a top 40 choice, but his draft stock has since slipped.
Cam Johnson, on the other hand, continues to watch his draft stock move north. Sources at the workout said the dominant pass rusher looked good in position drills. That would be a postseason trifecta for Johnson, who looked good at the Senior Bowl, turned in a solid combine workout and performed well during pro day.
• Offensive lineman Austin Pasztor caught the attention of scouts today. Measuring 6 feet, 7 inches and 306 pounds, Pasztor ran 5.35 seconds in the forty after posting a vertical jump of 31-inches. He moved well and looked agile in drills. Playing guard at Virginia, some teams project Pasztor as a right tackle for the next level.
Friday, March 16, 2:42 p.m.
A busy Friday on the pro day schedule ends a hectic week of workouts.
In West Virginia, linebacker Najae Goode and Bruce Irvin stood on their combine numbers, but did position drills, and both looked solid according to scouts.
Irvin was very explosive and looked good in ball drills. That's important, as he was primarily used as a pass rusher at West Virginia. Displaying coverage skills further confirms the versatility of the athletic defender in the minds of scouts. Irvin's fastest official 40 time from the combine was 4.41 seconds, the best of any defensive front seven player.
Goode looked solid in both linebacker and defensive back drills. Initially graded as a low-level free agent entering the season, he has moved into the middle of the draft's final day.
Two Mountaineers who were surprise non-invitees at the combine displayed their skills today.
Defensive end Julian Miller, a productive three year starter, clocked 4.78 and 4.82 in the 40, touched 33.5 inches in the vertical jump and put up 19 reps on the bench. He was run through defensive line and linebacker drills for 35 minutes after testing and looked athletic. Expect Miller to be one of the two dozen non-combine participants to be selected in last day of next month's draft.
Cornerback Keith Tandy ran 40 times that ranged between 4.50 and 4.57 seconds.
The times from Temple pro day have been fast -- startling, in fact.
Running back Bernard Pierce, who surprised many with a 4.45 40 clocking at the combine, lowered his time by one-tenth today. Several watches had Pierce, not known as a fast ball-carrier, turning in times of 4.34 seconds. Sure-handed receiver Rod Streater also cracked the 4.4-second barrier, timing 4.37 in the 40.
Tight end Matt Balasavage (255 pounds), known more for his blocking, ran in the high 4.7s (4.78 seconds), after posting 21 reps on the bench press. Derek Dennis, one of the more underrated guards available next month, completed 25 reps on the bench press, then ran a 40 time of 5.23 seconds.
The Temple players are presently participating in position drills.
The Arizona State pro day had some of the excitement taken out of the event, as quarterback Brock Osweiler won't be throwing for scouts until March 30, the same day linebacker Vontaze Burfict will run again and try to improve on his 40 time of 5.00 seconds from the combine. Burfict reportedly completed 16 reps on the bench this morning.
Other marks from the Arizona State pro-day, which is still in progress, include oft-injured cornerback Omar Bolden running 4.55 seconds in the 40 and receiver Mike Willie unable to break 4.8 seconds.
