2019 NFL Draft: Complete Pro Day schedule
By Bryan Perez
The 2019 NFL Draft process began in January with the Reese’s Senior Bowl, moved into late-February, early-March with the NFL combine, and will culminate with the country’s top prospects performing on their college campuses at their Pro Day.
The most compelling Pro Day of them all will take place at Oklahoma on March 13. That’s when potential No. 1 pick Kyler Murray is expected to go through a complete workout, including the 40-yard dash and every throw on the route tree.
Yes, it will be scripted and yes, he’s going to look fantastic during the session, but he’ll give NFL evaluators a chance to watch his mechanics and study his body composition up close. It will also give decision-makers the ability to get a strong feel for just how fast and explosive he is.
It’s one thing to read about a guy running a 4.39 40-yard dash; it’s another altogether to be there to watch him run it.
Murray’s ascent up the draft board has been nothing short of remarkable considering 2018 was his only season as a full-time starter, and the No. 1 pick is held by a team who spent a first-rounder on a quarterback just last year (Cardinals, Josh Rosen). But value and talent always trump need, and in this case, Murray projects as a much better fit for Arizona than Rosen does.
Another date to circle is March 20; that’s when Georgia will host their Pro Day. Several Bulldogs had miserable days at the NFL combine, including RB Elijah Holyfield and TE Isaac Nauta, and need a big bounce-back performance to salvage their draft stock.
Florida’s Jachai Polite needs a strong showing on March 27, too, or his once first-round value will be all but lost.
