NFL Pro Day Schedule Released

With NCAA football players readying for the NFL Combine, additional ones will be gearing up for Pro Days that will begin four days later.

The Combine runs from Feb. 22 – 28 in Indianapolis and on March 1 schools across the country will kick off Pro Days at their various campuses. Players who perform do not have the interview and medical tests that the Combine has but it does include the same athletic skill tests such as the 40-yard dash, bench press, 3-cone drill–to name a few.

They will also have an opportunity to perform in front of key NFL decision makers.

Last week, news leaked out that Stanford and Baylor will both hold their Pro Days on March 22. Stories began asking what is a NFL scout to do when they can’t attend both to see the highly coveted quarterbacks, Baylor’s Robert Griffin III and Stanford’s Andrew Luck, perform?

Fortunately both players have obviously been invited to the Combine and at the end of the day, one of them will be going to the Indianapolis Colts.

Per the NFL, here’s the Pro Day schedule for the different schools.

Nevin Shapiro Talks From Jail

After last year’s Yahoo story exposed University of Miami’s super booster Nevin Shapiro and his inappropriate actions with some players from the football team, the convicted Ponzi schemer is still talking about these experiences.

Recently for a CNBC story, American Greed, Sharpiro sent emails to the network and continued bragging. Can you say he has delusions of grandeur?

Here’s one email sent from his jail computer:

“The public is going to hate me worse in the next coming months. It’s going to be severe and catastrophic. My feelings are getting inflamed and I’m going to pop off pretty soon with regards to them and the NCAA. I’m coming for them both [UM and former players] and I’m going to be successful.

“I’m taking that program down to Chinatown and the former players and links to that program. Why? Because the U.S. government lined up 47 former players to testify against me in open court if I went to trial. That in itself is motivation to shove it up their collective [butts].”

Shapiro also claimed, “UM is getting the death penalty or damn close to it.”

The university doesn’t believe this will happen.

Miami has been under NCAA investigation since last March. According to NBC Sports, only current Miami players are required to speak with the NCAA. Some players cited in Shapiro’s allegations haven’t been contacted by them and for some that have been, they haven’t talked.
