Boston College Pro Day

Per NFL Prospect analyst Gil Brandt:

One of the most interesting prospects at Boston College’s pro day was LB Brian Toal. At 6-0 1/4, 228 pounds, he probably doesn’t have the size to play linebacker at the pro level, but he is a good athlete. He worked out at both safety and fullback and is the kind of player who belongs on the field, he just has to find the right position. He ran a 4.65 and 4.67 in the 40, had a 37 1/2-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot broad jump, a 4.45 short shuttle, a 7.03 three-cone drill and 15 bench press reps.

He and the rest of the prospects ran on the game field under a bubble. Twenty teams were there, including three defensive Line coaches and also Jets assistant GM Scott Cohen. Ten players worked out from B.C. and 25 players worked out from Boston-area schools.

Here are the notable prospects:

DT B.J. Raji (6-1 1/4, 330 pounds) kept everything from combine, did positional drills.

DT Ron Brace (6-2 3/4, 331 pounds) ran 5.55 and 5.51 in the 40, kept everything else from the combine and did position workouts.

LB Kevin Atkins (6-2, 219 pounds) ran 4.76 and 4.73 in the 40 and kept everything else from the combine. He was worked out as a safety.

TE Ryan Purvis (6-3 3/4, 254 pounds) ran 4.95 twice in the 40, had a 4.61 short shuttle, a 7.25 three-cone drill, a 29-inch vertical, an 8-foot, 7-inch broad jump and put up 19 lifts.

Robert Fancios (6-2 1/4, 244 pounds) ran 4.61 and 4.59 in the 40, had a 35 1/2-inch vertical, a 9-foot, 10-inch broad jump, a 4.34 in the short shuttle, a 7.11 three-cone drill and kept bench press from combine.

Brian Toal — Real interesting guy. LB, 6-0 1/4, 228. 4.65 and 4.67 in the 40. 37.5-inch vertical, 10-0 broad, 4.45 short, 7.03 cone and 15 bench presses. They worked this guy out as a fullback, safety. He’s a good player that you have to find a position for.
