Representatives from 17 NFL teams — including tight end coaches from the Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars — were present at McNeese State’s pro day on Monday, when eight players worked out outdoors on FieldTurf.

Representatives from 21 NFL teams were present at Southeastern Louisiana’s pro day on Thursday, when nine players worked out outside on FieldTurf.
