A total of 21 NFL teams were represented when West Texas A&M took its pro day on the road to Amarillo, Texas, where 17 players worked out indoors on artificial turf.

Representatives from 28 NFL teams were present Monday for Virginia’s pro day, where six players — including one prospect who could be selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft — worked out indoors on FieldTurf. Morgan Moses, OT (6-foot-6 1/4, 311 pounds) — Moses — who was at the NFL Scouting Combine — ran the 40-yard dash just once, doing so in 5.14 seconds and pulling up with a left hamstring pull.

The offensive line coaches from the Bengals, Rams, Colts and Chargers were at the pro day for the University of Nevada at Reno on Wednesday to watch Joel Bitonio.
