Missouri Pro Day

Earlier this month I covered the Missouri Pro Day that focused on the defensive side of the ball, well it was finally time for studs like Jeremy Maclin, Chase Daniel and Chase Coffman to strut their stuff on the campus where they made a name for themselves on Saturday and hope to translate that knowledge to a new destination on Sundays. Here's how the fellas fared with a nice statistical update from NFL.com and my main man, the G-Beezy.

WR Jeremy Maclin (6-0¼, 197 pounds) ran a 4.43 and 4.47 in the 40, had a 10-foot broad jump, a 35½-inch vertical jump, a 4.25 short shuttle and a 7.12 cone drill.

TE Chase Coffman (6-6, 247 pounds) had a CAT-scan yesterday and it showed his foot injury is 80 percent healed. He subsequently did not do the workout drills and just caught passes.

QB Chase Daniel ran a 4.86 and 4.79 in the 40 and had a 9-foot broad jump.

Maclin is a first rounder based on talent and potential alone, Coffman would be a second rounder if he was able to workout and probably slips into the third and Chase Daniel is likely a sixth or seventh rounder.

Missouri Pro Day

Per NFL Prospect analyst Gil Brandt:

The scouts just love going to Missouri’s pro day. They get lunch, the people are ultra friendly and it’s just a great stop. This year there are also several Tigers prospects worth watching. The offensive stars — QB Chase Daniel, TE Chase Coffman and WR Jeremy Maclin — will work out March 19, but a number of the defensive players ran drills.

One player who performed really well was S William Moore. He looked good in his positional drills and was impressive overall. He measured in at 6-foot and a 1/2-inch, 221 pounds. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.51 and 4.49 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.94 seconds. He also posted a 10-foot, 6-inch broad jump.

Defensive tackle Evander ‘Ziggy’ Hood kept his 40 time from the combine, but did do the other drills. He ran the short shuttle in 4.45 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.32 seconds. He had 35 reps in the bench press, jumped 34 1/2 inches in the vertical and leaped 9-feet, 8-inches in the broad jump.

Defensive end Stryker Sulak kept all of his combine numbers and did position drills.

Linebacker Brock Christopher checked in at 6-1 5/8, 238 pounds. He ran the 40 in 4.92 and 4.93 seconds, the short shuttle in 4.34 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.32 seconds, as well as having a 32-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot broad jump and 20 bench press reps.

Prospect Update: Jeremy Maclin

In recent prospect news, Missouri Tiger wide receiver and kick returner Jeremy Maclin, who hurt his knee at the combine, has been cleared by Birmingham, Alabama specialist Dr. James Andrews to do all workouts at his Pro Day on March 5th and/or 19th.

This is good news for Maclin who has seen his stock drop a bit since under performing at the combine. He has first round ability as a wide receiver and electrifying kick returner but he'll need to show he is healthy and put together a nice Pro Day workout to cement his 1st round status as guys like Hakeem Nicks, Kenny Britt, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Percy Harvin are nipping at his heels.
