Missouri Pro Day Reaction

Yesterday Missouri Held their Pro Day. Missouri has a few decent NFL prospects, the best of which is probably TE Michael Egnew who had a solid combine catching the football and that continued yesterday. There were four players who worked out Michael Egnew, DL Dominique Hamilton and Jacquies Smith, and wide receiver Jerrel Jackson.

Actually Hamilton didn’t particpate in the Proday after all

Hamilton planned to do some position drills Thursday at Mizzou’s pro day, but changed his plans after seeing teammate and fellow defensive tackle Terrell Resonno suffer a quadriceps injury running the 40-yard dash. That ended Resonno’s day.

Unlike many schools, Missouri always has a second pro day — it’s March 15 this year — and Hamilton plans on doing position drills that day, as well as trying to lower that 40 time.

There were 16 teams in attendance for Missouri’s Pro Day:

According to SB Nation’s Jeremiah Oshan, 16 different NFL teams were present at Missouri’s NFL Pro Day on Thursday to watch four former Tigers showcase their talents in hopes of boosting their draft stock. Of the teams at the pro day, Oshan said representatives from the St. Louis Rams, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons were all in attendance.

Tight end Michael Egnew, as well as receivers Jerrell Jackson and Wes Kemp, all looked good in pass-catching drills. Jackson, who ran in the upper 4.5s at the combine, will run the 40 on March 15, when Missouri has its second pro day.

Tight end Michael Egnew, Missouri’s top tight end prospect, is still struggling with a tight hamstring which came about during the combine. He will wait until March 15 to better his time of 4.62 seconds in the forty from the combine. Egnew did participate in the broad jump, measuring 11-feet, 4-inches, which was a five inch improvement from Indianapolis. His vertical jump of 37.5 inches today bettered his combine number by 1.5-inches.

Egnew didn’t have the kind of season he was hoping for and that hurt his chances of being a round two pick, but he’s still a very athletic pass catcher with a body that could add more weight to be an adequate blocking tight end as well. Egnew has pretty good hands and looks like a round three or round four pick.
