Alabama, Cal, Cincinnati, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Oklahoma State, Rutgers, Washington and Wisconsin; just a few of the pro-days we will be providing live coverage from throughout the day.  It’ll be a busy Wednesday so check back throughout the afternoon for pro-day updates.

Notes: Sources have told us most of the watches on Ray Fischer during yesterday’s pro-day in Indiana read between 4.32 and 4.34.  We think this definitely puts him into the late rounds.

During our combine coverage we broke the news on Sunday, February 28^th, that Arizona State receiver Chris McGaha was diagnosed with 20-60 vision during a combine exam in Indianapolis.  Sources have confirmed McGaha underwent successful lasix surgery last week and his vision has already improved to 20-15.  Said McGaha, “it will finally be nice to actually see the ball I’m catching and not that brown blur he has been so accustomed to over the past couple seasons.”  His vision is expected to reach 20-20 in the coming weeks.  Arizona State’s pro-day is March 26^th.

Workout date set

Rather a light pro-day schedule on Tuesday in anticipation of tomorrows full slate of workouts.  Sam Bradford won’t be throwing in Norman yet we will still be following the news throughout the day.  We start off with the early word from John Skelton in Fordham as well as a number of interesting notes.  Update- Fordham Signal Caller Impresses

Oklahoma State

Though the Cowboys don’t workout for NFL scouts until tomorrow, their pro-day event is making all kinds of headlines today.

It was announced earlier by OSU coach Mike Gundy that cornerback Perrish Cox would not be allowed to use the facilities for tomorrows workout, followed thereafter by the announcement that Dez Bryant would not be participating in the workout tomorrow.

The reasoning for disallowing Cox to use the facilities is an extension of his Cotton Bowl suspension.

Sources have told us that Cox has set a workout date of Match 30th to perform for scouts.  The workout will take place at Waco High School in Baylor.

Indiana

More than two dozen teams were in Bloomington for the Hoosiers pro-day and by all accounts there was a lot of talent on the field.

Ray Fisher, a player we feel is the most underrated NFL prospect in the Big Ten, looked terrific this morning in workouts.  The former receiver who moved to cornerback for the 2009 season worked out at both positions today, besides catching punts, and was solid.  Unofficially people have told us his forty time clocked in the low 4.3-second area.  Fisher weighed 171 pounds, posted 38-inches on the vertical jump and 10′ 2” on the broad.  Ironically the pre-season national report listed him at 212-pounds with a forty time of 4.65 seconds.

Linebacker Matt Mayberry also turned a few heads.  Mayberry ran in the low 4.5 second area, though some watches had him as fast as 4.48 seconds, after weighing in at 235-pounds.  He completed 24 reps on the bench and posted a broad jump of 9′ 11”.

Jammie Kirlew improved slightly on his forty time from the combine running in the high 4.8 second area.  He also posted a 34-inch vertical jump and 9′2” broad jump after weighing in at 261 pounds.

Left tackle Rodger Saffold just participated in position drills after his terrific combine numbers.  Saffold is drawing a lot of interest lately.  The Cincinnati Bengals, St. Louis Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs have all been monitoring the Hoosier left tackle who could break into the second round when all is said and done.

Weber State

More than a dozen scouts made their way to Weber State and two players have really stood out.

Cornerback Josh Morris timed the forty in 4.51 second, posted a vertical jump of 40-inches and a 10′7” broad.  He also completed ten reps on the bench.  Morris measured 5113/186lbs to start the day.

Receiver Tim Toone, known more as possession wide out, posted a time of 4.45 seconds.

Oklahoma

1:50 EST

Correction on Clapp- we were initially told he weighed in at 228-pound but the official number was 249-pounds.  Clapp completed 22 reps on the bench and posted a broad jump of 9′6”.  Sources at the workout said he looked terrific in pass catching drills and did not drop a ball.

12:30 EST

Numbers are starting to trickle in from the Sooners pro-day in Norman.  Thus far the big winner has been underrated fullback Matt Clapp.

Clapp weighed in at 249-pounds, posted a vertical jump of 35.5-inches and ran as fast as 4.57-seconds on a number of watches.  His three cone was slightly over seven seconds at 7.02.

Sources have told us cornerback Dominique Franks ran in the low 4.4-second area (4.42).

Fordham

7:15PM

Sources have told us Skelton threw the ball much better today, displaying improved accuracy on his throws compared to his performances during Shrine Week and at the combine.  He threw more than 100 passes during today’s scripted workout and showed the velocity on throws scouts have come accustomed to besides much  better placement on passes. 

Scouts we spoke with have come away with the feeling most of Skelton’s inaccuracy problems can easily be corrected by reworking some of his fundamentals.  In many instances he’s already improved on them.  Two teams left the workout at Fordham today saying they have stamped the big signal caller with a third round grade.  Skelton will be flying to visit the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.  The Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins have also shown a lot of interest.

To the surprise of no one receiver Patrick Simonds put in a good workout.  He ran forty times which averages 4.52 seconds, posted a broad jump of 10-feet, 2-inches and had a verticle jump of 36-inches after weighing in over 220-pounds.

12PM 

Sixteen teams are on hand in the Bronx, New York, including a number of quarterback coaches like Ken Zampese of the Cincinnati Bengals, to watch John Skelton throw the football.

Also taking part in this workout is Colgate receiver Patrick Simonds who’s already completed 24 reps on the bench and posted a 10’2’’ broad jump.

The players are about to run the forty then Skelton will throw to his receivers as well as Skelton.

Notes

Two prospects at the Utah workout are still making noise based on their performance yesterday.  Safety Robert Johnson’s times in the short shuttle (4.04 seconds) and three cone (6.56 seconds) were better than the times of any defensive back who participated in those events at the combine.

Several people are comparing Kao Misi’s position workout yesterday to the performance turned in by Clay Matthews one year ago.  That performance helped Matthews jump into the middle of the first round.  And while that may be a bit excessive for Misi, don’t discount him in the late part of the first frame.  Misi already has three private workouts set up, which we will let readers know about as the dates get nearer.

Josh Morris has been one of our favorite small school corners throughout this year’s scouting process.  NFL scouts told Morris yesterday he could participate in Utah workout.  Morris posted a 39.5-inch vertical jump, 10’ 7’’ broad jump and completed double digits on the bench press before someone from Utah informed Morris he could no longer participate in the workout.  No reason was given.  Morris will be working out today at Weber State’s pro-day.

Today is the pro-day event for Indiana-Pa.  Not working out will be cornerback Akwasi Owusa-Ansah who has been given the okay to participate in the Ohio State workout this Friday, March 12^th.

One riser up draft boards has been Arthur Moats, the linebacker/defensive end from James Madison.  So impressive was Moats combine workout that sources have told us San Francisco 49er head coach Mike Singletary has set a date to personally workout the small school prospect.

Today begins the first full week of Pro-day workouts in the month of March and the TFYDraftInsider.net will be covering the events from Utah and Troy State live.  Both are incredibly important as Utah offers several underrated defensive backs who did not receive invitations to the combine while in Troy, Alabama, a number of players hope to redeem themselves from disappointing performances in Indianapolis.  We’ll also have updates from Tulsa but start off with a few notes. Update 5PM- News Comes in from Troy

Troy

Fourteen teams traveled to Troy to watch the seniors work out.  The testing is complete, and the players are now participating in the position drills.

Defenders Brandon Lang and Cameron Sheffield improved slightly from their combine numbers.  Both ran times which ranged from the high 4.8’s to 4.91 seconds.  Lang stood on his bench press number from the combine, while Sheffield will bench at Troy’s second workout on March 24th.

Linebacker Boris Lee was faster then both and was timed as fast as 4.77 seconds.

One player who stood out was Jorrick Calvin, a prospect TFY has written about a number of times.  Calvin, who did not play this season because of eligibility issues, looked like the next big time defensive back prospect from the program before the NCAA ruling.  He ran in the low 4.5’s today and from all accounts looked terrific during defensive back drills.  Calvin is drawing a lot of interest and already has private workouts set up with the Detroit Lions tomorrow, then the Cleveland Browns on Thursday.

Charlie Weiss of the Kansas City Chiefs was on hand to personally workout quarterback Levi Brown.

Utah

3:20PM: More from Utah.

Robert Johnson’s times ranged between 4.55-4.58.  He weighed in at 203lbs, completed 13 reps on the bench and posted a three cone time of 6.56-seconds.

Koa Misi posted a three cone time of 6.98 seconds.

All 32 teams showed up in Salt Lake City today to watch the Utes workout.  Included were six directors of college scouting.

The day did not start well for Zane Beadles as the big offensive lineman hurt his hamstring and is now set to workout on March 29^th.

Other players fared much better.

Safety Robert Johnson, one of the biggest combine snubs this year, posted a solid forty time of 4.55 seconds.  Receiver David Reed ran a 4.57 while speedy cornerback R.J. Stanford posted a 4.38.

Kao Misi participated in drills and according to sources looked outstanding.  Some have stamped him with a first round workout today.  More as it comes in.

Update on Northwestern workout: Sources have told us that defensive end Corey Wootton will not run this Thursday during the Northwestern workout and will wait until March 29^th.  As of now cornerback Sherrick McManis is also unlikely to workout.

Notes 11:30AM EST

This is a huge week for pro-days as Oklahoma, Alabama, California, Rutgers, Arizona and several other top D-IA programs are on the schedule.  Northwestern’s pro-day is Thursday the 11^th.  Scouts will not only be watching the seniors from the Wildcat program but two of our favorite sleepers, cornerback Patrick Stoudamire of Western Illinois and Northern Illinois running back Justin Anderson.
