Big 12 Pro Day – March 18-21 – Frisco, Texas

Colorado stars Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders are set to headline the Big 12 Pro Day at   The Star in Frisco, Texas. Big 12 Conference will partner with the NFL for the second annual event. The NFL Network will provide coverage of Pro Day from the Dallas Cowboys’ global headquarters as Big 12 football athletes begin the next chapters of their careers in front of NFL franchises inside Ford Center at The Star.

Big 12 athletes scheduled to attend this year’s Pro Day include Colorado’s Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and QB Shedeur Sanders, the Arizona tandem of Tetairoa McMillan and Jonah Savaiinaea, as well as star wideouts including Colorado’s Jimmy Horn Jr. and Jack Bech and Savion Williams from TCU, among others.

The running back class will be represented by names such as Arizona State’s Cam Skattebo, UCF’s RJ Harvey, Cincinnati’s Corey Kiner, KU’s Devin Neal, DJ Giddens from Kansas State, Ollie Gordon II from Oklahoma State and Tahj Brooks from Texas Tech.

Also scheduled to attend are defensive lineman Tyler Batty from BYU, Keith Cooper Jr. from Houston and J.R.

A complete list of the 200+ participants and final workout schedules will be announced at a later date.

Last year was the first-ever Big 12 Pro Day, which saw over 130 Big 12 student-athletes participate in front of NFL scouts and executives. Among those participants was former West Virginia and current Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Zach Frazier.

NFL Network will bring its talent and production teams to Frisco for live broadcasts with analysis of the event from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. CT on March 19 and 20. The Big 12 Pro Day coverage will also be featured within additional NFL Network programming.

NFL Combine 2024 – February 26- March 4 – Indianapolis, In.

The NFL Network channel will televise the NFL Combine in its entirety. Every NFL front office personnel will canvas the workouts. Players will go through extensive testing on their athletic, intellectual and psychological abilities by the staffs of NFL clubs. Prospects will follow the Combine with school Pro Day workouts. The NFL Combine gives players a chance to impress pro scouts on a level playing field vs most of their top competitors.

With increasing interest in the NFL Draft, the scouting combine has grown in scope and significance, allowing personnel directors to evaluate upcoming prospects in a standardized setting. Its origins have evolved from the National, BLESTO and Quadra Scouting organizations in 1977 to the media event it has become today.

Pro day workouts will be held at various college facilities where the running surfaces can have a variety of compositions effecting their timed results. Pro Days are not standardized with all the NFL Combine events, though the scouts request a broader series of events at their scheduled events.       

On average, there are approximately 75-100+ NFL Combine players who will go undrafted while on average, 50+ non-invited NFL Combine players are drafted each April. Athletes attend by invitation only. An athlete’s performance during the NFL Combine can affect their draft status and salary, and their career. The NFL Draft has popularized the term “workout warrior”, whereby an athlete’s ‘draft stock’ is increased based on superior measurable qualities such as size, speed, and strength, despite having an average or sub-par college career.

The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine begins on Monday, February 26th. The athletic testing and field drills get underway on Thursday, Feb 29th. The events will once again take place at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis. Television coverage can be found on the NFL Network.

Georgia Pro Day Workout

2023 Pro Day Schedule

 Frank Coyle/ Head scout

Defender Jalen Carter Disappoints in Workout

The much-anticipated Georgia Pro day was completed on Wednesday with several first round prospects expected to workout. Highly regarded defensive lineman Jalen Carter participated in only positional drills at the Georgia Pro day after opting out of the workout at the NFL Combine. Carter was mentioned as a possible #1 overall selection in the NFL Draft 2023, though was never higher than our 3^rd overall prospect entering the postseason. This average workout probably costs him a top 5 selection, though most likely still in the top 8 overall draft choices.

At the Bulldog pro day, his positional drills were terminated early with leg cramping and breathing issues completing his workout. He did not plan to perform any of the spring and leaping events.

Draft Insiders’ has 4 Newsletters available March to December – Draft Yearbook out in early April
             Order Today – Special Deluxe Package $59.95

Carter weighed in at 323 pounds, 9 pounds heavier than his weight at the NFL Scouting Combine two weeks ago in Indianapolis.  He had to leave the combine after arrest warrants were issued for him in Athens, Georgia, for racing and reckless driving charges stemming from an investigation into a fatal Jan. 15 car crash. He was booked on the two misdemeanors and released from custody the same day. He returned to the combine but did not participate in on-field activities in Indianapolis.

Edge defender Nolan Smith had another top workout doing positional drills in front of the 32 clubs in attendance. He was outstanding in drills, and moved easily and changed directions like a defensive back. This comes after a strong NFL Combine which most likely guaranteed him a top 20 selection.

Offensive tackle, Broderick Jones continues his rise up the charts. He did only positional drills and rest on his sub 5.0 time and other numbers. He is a possibly top 10 selection and will challenge for the first offensive lineman off the board on April 27^th.
