So if this dude really did all that, he sounds a lot like an individual that if we draft at somewhere like the 5th rounder we have, I wouldn't mind that risk/reward upside potential.

2012 NFL draft pro day updates - Tony Pauline - SI.com
Tuesday, March 6, 2:23 p.m.
• Many of the pro days for today are well underway, and already there have been several players who have wowed NFL teams, none more so than Greg Childs of Arkansas.
The big receiver posted an official 40 time of 4.41 seconds, though he timed in the high 4.3s on a number of watches at the workout. That's more than a full tenth of a second better than his combine time of 4.55 seconds. Childs also improved in the vertical jump by four inches, touching 40.5 inches at his pro day.
Teammate Joe Adams was unable to improve on his performance in Indianapolis, equaling his combine time of 4.55 seconds in the 40. For Adams, considered a vertical threat with home-run-hitting speed on the field, the mark is disappointing.
Linebacker Jerry Franklin, who many thought was deserving of a combine invitation, proved to scouts he belongs in the NFL. Franklin tipped the scales at 242 pounds, posted a vertical jump of 37.5 inches and ran a 40 time in the low 4.6s. Only three linebackers at the combine ran faster or jumped higher than the marks posted by Franklin today.
Also adding his name into the mix was running back/fullback Broderick Green, who clocked in the low 4.7s at 238 pounds and posted a vertical jump of 34 inches. Green, considered a leader on the Arkansas team and a character prospect by scouts, is a real sleeper at the fullback position. The Arkansas players are presently participating in position drills.
In Atlanta, Georgia Tech receiver Stephen Hill is again drawing rave reviews.
Hill stood on his stellar combine marks, but tipped the scale at a solid 209 pounds during the Georgia Tech workout, six less than his combine weigh-in. Once again Hill was flawless during pass-catching drills, running clean routes and doing an exceptional job catching the ball. The buzz continues to build around Hill, as several NFL decision-makers, as well as directors of college scouting for teams around the league, openly stated this morning that he ranks as a first-round choice and should be off the board by pick 25.

Good!
People have to learn to allow their kids to become an adult. I don't remember my mom watching how I did during my first job interview. Your son is no longer playing Pee-wee football, why on earth must you watch his workout for the "pros". This is not practice, it's an interview...

I agree with your sentiments, but I don't hav a problem with parents watching a spectator sport if the coaches don't mind. In this case apparently they do.

Weird. I wouldn't read too much into it, but still strange.

I'd much rather take guys like AJ Jenkins and Junior Hemingway in the mid-rounds than use a first rounder on one of the WRs that might be available to us at 30. I think that's where the real value is.

They are soo overly interested and are "sold" on him as a prospect, there isn't much else to see about him.
Every team in the NFL knows damn well that we are in dire need of trying to address our WR position. I guess our team is putting out our version of "poker face" by not attending Hill's workout. Don't want to make our situation (teams knowing our hands) become worse than it is.

I agree with that with one exception: Hill.
Hill has the most God given talent of any WR in the draft, and if the Niners wanted to swing for the fences they could take him at 30 in hopes he turns into a #1 WR.

Jeff Fuller - WR - Player
Texas A&M WR Jeff Fuller ran a 4.53 forty at his Pro Day on Wednesday, according to SI's Tony Pauline.
Fuller sat out of the Combine due to a stress fracture, so a low 4.5 time is solid for a 6'4" frame. Another big name that failed to meet expectations in his senior year, Fuller showed inconsistent hands and a lack of effort at Texas A&M and during the Senior Bowl. Now likely a third day pick, we think Fuller has some Dwayne Jarrett to him.

2012 NFL draft pro day updates - Tony Pauline - SI.com
Tuesday, March 6, 4:32 p.m.
• The Illinois pro day is complete and, while most of the top name prospects stood on their combine numbers, there were some standout performances.
Fast-rising Whitney Mercilus posted a time of 7.03 in the three-cone, which bettered his mark from the combine by almost .15 seconds. The number would've also placed Mercilus, who lined up at defensive end last season, in the top half of the linebackers who participated in the three-cone test at the combine. His short shuttle run of 4.49 seconds was also an improvement from his combine number last week. Afterward, Mercilus ran through position drills at both defensive line and linebacker. The game-impacting junior has likely secured a spot for himself in the bottom half of the first round.
Receiver AJ Jenkins also blistered in the three-cone and short shuttle, posting times in the low 3.8 second area and 6.7 second area respectively. His short shuttle time was faster than any run by a receiver at the combine, while only two wideouts bested the three-cone mark.
Jason Ford, the Fighting Illini's second-leading rusher last season, tipped the scale near 250 pounds and posted 40 times in the low-to-mid 4.6-second range, and turned in a vertical jump of 35 inches. Both are terrific marks and Ford later stood out in pass-catching drills. The college running back is getting long looks as a west coast fullback by NFL teams.
Offensive lineman John Cornell, overlooked in scouting circles due to the quality talent around him, also fared well. He completed 32 reps on the bench press, then cracked 5.10 seconds in the 40 on a number of watches. The 40 time is important, as this tells scouts Cornell has the athleticism many did not think he possessed.
Tuesday, March 6, 10:18 p.m.
• Several NFL hopefuls on the West Coast battled cold, windy weather and saw their pro-day workouts go late into the afternoon.
The UCLA pro day was attended by all 32 teams and featured a number of seniors hoping to redeem themselves after failing to meet expectations in 2011. Most of the Bruins who took part in the workout impressed scouts.
The story of the day was receiver Nelson Rosario who was graded as a late-round pick entering the year. Rosario measured 6 feet, 5 1/2 inches, 230 pounds then ran 40 times of 4.55 into a stiff headwind. His other marks included a vertical jump of 36.5 inches and a broad jump of 10 feet, 1 inch. All were outstanding results for Rosario, who caught the ball well during drills. Scouts were impressed the way the big pass-catcher was able to quickly get into pass routes and stay on balance exiting breaks. There's a feeling Rosario could add weight to his frame and eventually develop into a field-stretching tight end.
Safety Tony Dye, graded as a mid-round choice coming into the season only to struggle with several injuries, also turned in a solid performance. Dye was credited with an official 40 time of 4.56 seconds, posted 4.15 seconds in the short shuttle and 7.02 in the three cone. He also touched 36.5 inches in the vertical jump. These numbers were competitive with many of the safeties at the combine. He later looked smooth and quick in position drills.
Former Vanderbilt cornerback Jamie Graham, who transferred to UCLA only to miss most of the season with injury, also turned heads with a good workout. Ditto for Josh Smith, the receiver/return specialist transfer from Colorado who was forced to play in the secondary last season after injuries started to mount for the Bruins. Both looked camp worthy and should be signed soon after the draft ends.
• At Cal-Lutheran, nearly a half dozen teams withstood bad weather to watch cornerback Justin Haulcy-Bateman workout. The small-school sleeper did not disappoint, running 4.49 seconds in the 40 and 6.7 seconds in the shuttle. His other marks included 15 reps on the bench and 37 inches in the vertical jump. Haulcy-Bateman will have a second workout March 26.
Another small-school prospect stood out Tuesday. Jeremy Caldwell, a top FBS cornerback and return specialist, timed in the low 4.4s, clocked 4.1 seconds in the short shuttle and touched 35 inches in the vertical jump. Caldwell could get looks in the final round for a team that needs both a dime back and kick returner.
