In today’s Three and Out: Rashad Jennings lands himself a new starting gig and Dexter McCluster could fill a new role in Tennessee.
Rashad Jennings expected to be Giants No. 1 RB

Representatives from 17 NFL teams — including two assistant coaches from the Cincinnati Bengals and one from the New York Jets — were on hand at Tulsa’s pro day on Tuesday. The workout was held outdoors on FieldTurf with a wind gust that was approximately 10 miles per hour, and the 40-yard dashes were run one time with the wind and another time against the wind. There were eight Tulsa players working out, plus six other from smaller schools in the area. Ja’Terian Douglas, RB (5-foot-9 1/2, 203 pounds) — Douglas ran the 40 in 4.68 seconds with the wind and 4.78 against the wind. He had a 30-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-6 broad jump. He did the short […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ general manager (Kevin Colbert) and head coach (Mike Tomlin) were among the NFL personnel representing 31 different teams at Michigan State’s pro day on Tuesday. A total of 16 current players and two others from the 2012 team worked out indoors on FieldTurf. Darqueze Dennard, CB (5-foot-11, 195 pounds) — Dennard had a 36-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot-2 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.18 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.83 seconds. He stood on his 40-yard dash time from the NFL Scouting Combine. Dennard had a very good pro day workout. Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi does as good of a job as anybody in the country at coaching defensive backs. […]

Representatives from 13 NFL teams were on hand to witness 16 prospects work out indoors on FieldTurf on Monday. In addition to six ‘Nova players at the pro day, head coach Andy Talley was kind enough to allow 10 other athletes from area small colleges to have the opportunity to work out in front of NFL scouts. The pro day featured a player very reminiscent of San Diego Chargers running back Danny Woodhead. Kyle Harbridge of FCS-level Saint Francis (Pa.) is a 5-foot-9 3/8, 204-pound running back, who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52 and 4.56 seconds as one of those area small-school prospects on hand at Villanova’s pro day. Harbridge had a 33-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot broad […]

Representatives from 13 NFL teams — including Cincinnati Bengals defensive line coach Jay Hayes — were on hand to watch 14 South Florida players work out outdoors on grass Monday. Two defensive ends from the school appear to be third-day selection possibilities in the 2014 NFL Draft. Aaron Lynch (6-foot-5, 252 pounds) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.69 seconds on each attempt. He had a real good 10-yard time of 1.52 seconds, which is an indication that he can be a good pass rusher at the next level. Lynch had a 29-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-9 broad jump. He had a short shuttle time of 4.61 seconds and a three-cone drill time of 7.48 seconds. Lynch kept his bench […]

Representatives from 23 NFL teams were present at Arkansas’ pro day on March 5. The Razorbacks had four players at the NFL Scouting Combine, and center Travis Swanson has the best chance to be selected high in the 2014 NFL Draft. Swanson stood on all of his numbers from the combine. He had position workouts conducted by an assistant coach from the Kansas City Chiefs, and he had an impressive performance in the drills. Because of the nature of his position, Swanson is a likely late third- to early fourth-round selection in the draft. Chris Smith, a defensive end, was also at the combine and only did the three-cone drill at Arkansas’ pro day (7.37 seconds). He was worked out […]
Travis Swanson impressive; Robert Thomas will work out April 1

Conditions weren’t quite ideal at New Mexico State’ pro day on March 5, when 14 NFL teams were present at a workout that was held outdoors at Aggie Memorial Stadium, which has a natural grass field but was really just ground and sand for the pro day. The less-than-ideal field for running hurt the times posted by wide receiver Austin Franklin, an early entry into the 2014 NFL Draft. Franklin missed the first four games of the 2013 season because of a suspension related to academics, but still managed to post 52 receptions for 670 yards and seven touchdowns for the Aggies. Franklin (5-foot-11, 191 pounds) ran the 40-yard dash just once, doing so in 4.69 seconds. He had a […]

A total of 14 Arkansas State players worked out indoors on FieldTurf in front of representatives from nine NFL teams on March 7. Ryan Carrethers, DT (6-foot-1 3/4, 333 pounds) — Carrethers ran the 40-yard dash in 5.34 and 5.35 seconds, the three-cone drill in 7.89 seconds and did 34 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. He kept his verical jump and broad jump numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine. Carrethers is a likely free-agent pickup following the 2014 NFL Draft. Adam Kennedy, QB (6-4 1/2, 223) — Kennedy ran the 40 in 5.10 and 5.13 seconds. He had a 26 1/2-inch vertical and 9-7 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.69 seconds and did the […]
