The national champion Georgia Bulldogs held their pro day on Wednesday. It’s arguably the biggest collegiate workout event on the entire pro day circuit, with as many as 19 draft-worthy Georgia prospects working out.
All 32 teams were in Athens to check out the talent, but the Detroit Lions had an extra edge in one key positional group. Lions LB coach Kelvin Sheppard was running all of the workouts for the linebacker group for the Bulldogs. He was closely watched by Lions special assistant and legendary LB, Chris Spielman. Sheppard was visible on the SEC Network barking out orders and coordinating the drills the talented set of LBs went through during the session.
This is Sheppard (in grey with the long hair) working out Travon Walker, who is a defensive lineman but has movement skills and athleticism that could also work at OLB. Even though Sheppard went to rival LSU, he has to appreciate Walker doing some LB drills at his size.
