UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas — A college’s annual pro day operates as a chance for a school to showcase its most eligible NFL draft talent to scouts.
At SMU, representatives from nearly the entire league came to see star wide receiver Rashee Rice run a route tree he believes is more than NFL-ready. At Texas A&M, it was a chance for teams to watch multiple prospects, including running back Devon Achane, whose speed should make him one of the first running backs selected. Even at West Florida, a Division II school, scouts spent their day watching wide receiver David Durden, who’s expected to be selected.
Scouts didn’t come to watch the person who threw to all three of them, however. And that’s not exactly surprising news to him, either.
