Cincinnati Bengals quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese was among the representatives from nine NFL teams that attended North Dakota State’s pro day Wednesday. A total of 14 players worked out — 11 from North Dakota State and three from North Dakota — indoors on FieldTurf. Billy Turner, OT, North Dakota State: Turner (6-foot 5 3/8, 314 pounds), who was at the combine, has 33 5/8-inch arms and 10-inch hands. He did position drills only Wednesday. He has a visit scheduled with the Dallas Cowboys, and I think he’s probably a second-day draft pick down near the end of the third round. Marcus Williams, CB, North Dakota State: Williams (5-11, 196 pounds) worked out on March 3 at Minnesota but worked out […]

Representatives from 20 NFL teams — including New York Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, Seattle Seahawks wide receivers coach Kippy Brown, and assistants from the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles — were present Friday for Oregon State’s pro day, which was held indoors on FieldTurf. Brandin Cooks, WR (5-foot-9 3/4, 185 pounds) — Cooks stood on his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine, where he had one of the event’s most impressive performances — blazing a 4.33-second 40-yard dash time as the most notable effort. At Oregon State’s pro day, Cooks caught passes from former Beavers backup Cody Vaz. Cooks has a good chance to be a first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Scott Crichton, DE (6-2 5/8, 269) […]

Representatives from 20 NFL teams — including a host of assistant/position coaches — were present for UCLA’s pro day Tuesday. The workout was held outdoors on FieldTurf, with a slight breeze (but not enough to make a difference) at the backs of the players as they ran. Former NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia was on hand to throw passes to the receivers. Anthony Barr, LB (6-foot-4 1/2, 247 pounds) — Barr ran the 40-yard dash in 4.41 and 4.49 seconds. He had a 10-foot-5 broad jump and had 19 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press.

A total of 13 Red Raiders players worked out outdoors on AstroTurf, which was kinda matted down and was not a good surface. But, the prospects had to work outdoors because Texas Tech’s indoor facility is being renovated. Jace Amaro, TE (6-foot-5 1/2, 266 pounds) — Amaro ran the 40-yard dash in 4.69 seconds against the wind and 4.68 with the wind. He had a 33 1/2-inch vertical jump and posted 24 reps of 225 pounds […]

Cody Hoffman, WR (6-3 7/8, 218) — Hoffman ran the 40 in 4.70 and 4.67 seconds. He […]

Representatives from all 32 NFL teams — including the head coaches of the Cincinnati Bengals (Marvin Lewis), Minnesota Vikings (Mike Zimmer) and New Orleans Saints (Sean Payton); general managers from the New York Giants (Jerry Reese), Vikings (Rick Spielman) and Saints (Mickey Loomis); as well as numerous coordinators and assistant/position coaches — were present at Alabama’s pro day on Wednesday. A total of eight players worked out indoors on FieldTurf. AJ McCarron, QB (6-foot-3 3/8, 222 pounds) — McCarron did an excellent job throwing the ball to receivers Kevin Norwood and Kenny Bell. There’s isn’t a consensus on McCarron, with some people really liking the two-time national title-winning quarterback and others not intrigued with the decorated collegiate passer. At Alabama’s […]
