March 7th

Alabama -- New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was among five NFL head coaches to gather at Alabama's pro day, furthering evaluations on a UA draft class that figures to once again place multiple prospects in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Five Alabama players are in the latest edition of NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah's Top 50 rankings-- the most of any school -- including DB Minkah Fitzpatrick (No. 5), Ridley (No. 22), DT Da'Ron Payne (No. 24), LB Rashaan Evans (No. 27) and S Ronnie Harrison (No. 38).

The other NFL head coaches in attendance Wednesday: the Cincinnati Bengals' Marvin Lewis, Detroit Lions' Matt Patricia, Tennessee Titans' Mike Vrabel and Pittsburgh Steelers' Mike Tomlin.

General managers attending UA's pro day included Bob Quinn (Lions), Kevin Colbert (Steelers), Marty Hurney (Panthers), Rick Spielman (Vikings), and Jon Robinson (Titans), along with Redskinsteam president Bruce Allen.

Colorado -- Here is a full breakdown of participants at CU’s pro day (2 p.m., Boulder): Michael Adkins, RB; Bryce Bobo, WR; Tim Coleman, DE/OLB; Shay Fields, WR; George Frazier, TE/FB/DE; Austin Freer, OL (Colorado Mesa); Diego Gonzalez, PK; Tanner Grzesiek, RB; Jeromy Irwin, OT; Leo Jackson, DE; Gerrad Kough, OG; Afolabi Laguda, S; Phillip Lindsay, RB; Derek McCartney, OLB; Ryan Moeller, S; Isaiah Oliver, CB; Devin Ross, WR.

In addition, Broncos general manager John Elway, coach Vance Joseph and senior advisor Gary Kubiak, among other Denver NFL staffers, will be watching in Boulder. The following teams will also have scouts in attendance: Falcons, Bills, Panthers (2), Bears, Browns, Cowboys, Lions (3), Packers, Texans, Jaguars, Chiefs (2), Rams (2), Dolphins, Vikings, Patriots, Saints, Giants, Jets, Raiders, Steelers, 49ers, Seahawks, Buccanneers, Titans (2), Redskins and the Canadian Football League’s BC Lions.

March 8th

Army -- Fast-rising Brett Toth, who was not allowed to work out at the combine after medicals revealed a Jones fracture in his foot, is set to complete a full workout in front of teams. The workout is presently taking place.

Twenty teams showed up for the Army workout, and Toth was the only player participating. The tackle measured 6056 and 287 pounds, completed 16 reps on the bench and timed 5.09 in the 40, 4.55 in the short shuttle and 7.35 in the three-cone. During position drills, he looked smooth and much stronger than his bench number would lead people to believe.


Fordham/Columbia -- The Fordham pro day actually took place a little west of the campus at the indoor facility on Columbia University. Two players stood out.

Running back Chase Edmonds stood on most of his combine numbers but looked terrific in position drills -- especially catching the ball -- for the 18 teams who were on hand. Edmonds ran more than a dozen routes coming out of the backfield and lined up as a receiver. He did re-run the three-cone (6.89) and short shuttle (4.00).

The Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons sent multiple people to watch Edmonds’ workout, and the running back spent time with the New York Jets, New York Giants and Tennessee Titans.

The other player who impressed scouts was Columbia corner Cameron Roane. Graded as a priority free agent before the season, Roane timed anywhere from the mid-4.3s to the low-4.4s in the 40. He touched 39 inches in the vertical jump and 10-foot-10 in the broad jump.

Roane, who was measured at 5-foot-11 and 203 pounds last year during junior timing day, was estimated as a 4.6 guy in the 40. He pulled up during the shuttles and was unable to complete position drills. The expectation is that Roane will be invited to the local pro days for the Jets and Giants, where he will complete his workout.

Auburn -- Average measurable aren’t ruining the process for Holland. Pro Day was just another part of his dreams coming true. He was pleased with his showing on The Plains, which included a workout with former Auburn star and NFL Hall of Famer Kevin Greene.

Rutgers -- Rutgers Pro Day well underway here at #Jets Training Center. (The snow storm forced the players to move from the RU practice bubble.)

[h=1]2018 NFL Draft: Five takeaways from Sam Darnold's pro day[/h] LOS ANGELES -- USC's pro day Wednesday marked the last chance we will get to see former Trojans quarterback Sam Darnold in action before next month's 2018 NFL Draft. If the workout was indeed Darnold's closing argument, he made a very compelling case for why he deserves to be the first overall pick.

Here are my takeaways from his performance, which I was able to watch live and in person along with dozens of NFL decision makers, including those from the teams holding the draft's top two picks (Brownsand Giants).

1) I talked to a handful of teams here at the pro day that are not picking inside the top 10 this year, and all of them said they can't see how Darnold doesn't end up being the first overall pick.

I'll be surprised if he's not the guy for the Browns at No. 1. This pro day only helped his case.

2) One of the things about pro days is they're very rehearsed and scripted, so it was fun to see Darnold react to the rainy weather Wednesday and not skip a beat. He threw the ball really well despite the conditions at the USC campus.

I watched Darnold throw during a workout on a windy day about a month ago. It was dry that day. I thought he threw it even better Wednesday in the wet weather than he did in the dry weather. He's a competitive guy, and it showed in the way he successfully overcame the elements.

Andrew Luck's pro day at Stanford in 2012 is as good of a workout as I've seen for a QB. He threw into the wind that day and looked great. Darnold does not have quite the same arm strength as Luck, but I thought Darnold's anticipation and timing were outstanding Wednesday. The touch that he displayed stood out. It was one of the better pro days I've seen.

3) This pro day received plenty of hype, and all eyes were on Darnold. He didn't throw at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this month, which led to even more intrigue for his pro day, but unlike the combine, when he was sharing the stage with the other top passers in the draft, this day was Darnold's.

He needed to show that he could make every throw, which he easily did. He tightened up his delivery a little bit, which was good to see. He had a tendency to get a little hunched in the pocket last season, and I thought he did a much job with his balance and weight transfer on Wednesday.

His release is still a little bit long, but it's really explosive and quick. You could see that again during his workout.

4) The main issue for Darnold is fumbles, and that's still a concern even after the pro day. A workout in shorts and a T-shirt isn't a place where he can do anything to answer questions about whether he's improved in that area. You can see on tape that Darnold takes his non-throwing hand off the ball when he gets pressured. That was something you couldn't get a feel for at the pro day with no pass rushers coming at him. His turnovers are really the only issue for teams. Can you train that out of him? Most of the evaluators that I talked to here at the pro day felt like that's something they can coach. Now, I know there are some scouts that still view it as a major sticking point, but I think the majority of them are not hung up on it.

5) My player comp for Darnold is Tony Romo, and a couple league evaluators I polled this week agree that it's the best comparison for the Trojans QB. I definitely saw shades of Romo from Darnold on Wednesday. A few of the throws he made across his body looked like those Romo highlight-reel passes we've seen over the years. It was fun to watch.
