Tulsa Pro Day

Per NFL Prospect analyst Gil Brandt:

Seventeen NFL teams sent representatives to the University of Tulsa’s Pro Day on Monday. It’s the largest contingent they’ve had for a pro day at Tulsa — mainly because most of these scouts are on their way to Oklahoma’s Pro Day on Tuesday, followed by Oklahoma State’s on Wednesday.

Nine Tulsa players and one prospect from East Central University ran outdoors on Field Turf. With a 10-mph wind, they ran one 40-yard dash with the wind and one against it. Some of the notables:

David Johnson, QB: At 6-foot-1 ½, 219 pounds, he ran the 40 in 4.93 seconds (with wind) and 4.99 (against), had a 26 1/2-inch vertical jump, 8-foot, 10-inch long jump, ran 4.44 in the short shuttle, and 7.19 in the three-cone drill. Steelers defensive assistant Lou Spanos, a Tulsa alum, ran the position drill and said he worked out pretty good.

Roy Roberts, S: At 5-9 3/8, 200, he ran the 40 in 4.73 and 4.83, ran 4.43 in the short shuttle, 7.41 in the three-cone drill, and had 19 reps in the bench press.

Dominique Brooks, DB (East Central Oklahoma): At 6-1 ½, 204, he ran the 40 in 4.50 and 4.51, ran 4.40 in the short shuttle, 7.22 in the three-cone drill, and had 6 reps in the bench press.

Tulsa WR Brennan Marion, who suffered an ACL injury in the Conference USA Championship game, couldn’t work out.
