Maryland Pro Day

Per NFL Prospect analyst Gil Brandt:

The headliner at Maryland’s pro day was WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (6-1 5/8, 212 pounds). He drew a bunch of receiver coaches, including Jets assistant Henry Ellard. After running the fastest 40-yard dash at the combine (4.30 seconds), he opted not to do workout drills again Wednesday. Instead, he focused his attention on the position drills and he nailed that portion of the workout. He runs extremely smoothly and is adept at catching the ball.

Heyward-Bey was one of 24 players, who worked out in front of 50 scouts indoors on FieldTurf. (Heyward-Bey ranks fifth in Mike Mayock’s position rankings.)

These were the other notable prospects:

DB Kevin Barnes (6-0 3/8, 184) ran a 4.45 and 4.49 in the 40, had a 41-inch vertical jump and kept his combine numbers for everything else.

LB Moises Fokou (6-1 1/4, 232) had a 33-inch vertical, 21 bench press reps and stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine.

TE Dan Grankowski (6-5 3/8, 254) kept all of his numbers from the combine.

OL Scott Burley (6-4 7/8, 315) ran a 5.48 and 5.45 in the 40, had a 31-inch vertical, an 8-foot broad jump, a 4.67 short shuttle, a 7.73 three-cone drill and had 19 lifts.

OL Jaimie Thomas (6-4 1/8, 329) didn’t run the 40 due to a strained quad, but had a 28-inch vertical, an 8-foot broad jump, a 4.67 short shuttle, a 7.99 three-cone drill and 26 lifts.
