Pro Day

Hey everyone. We are live from the Watson Fieldhouse, where the standard tests are being administered.

Today's participants:
DE/LB Antonio Coleman
CB Walt McFadden
TE/DE Gabe McKenzie
DT Jake Ricks
QB Chris Todd
DB Gabe Barrett (walk-on)
TE Robert Johnson (last season at Auburn was 2003, I believe)
TB Brad Lester (last season at Auburn was 2008)
WR Montez Billings
WR Robert Dunn (last season at Auburn was 2008)
?? Maurice Smith (Olympic decathlete, competed at Auburn)

**Ben Tate apparently is not working out today. He submitted to a weigh-in, but oddly didn't want people measuring his height.

**McFadden had the fastest 40 time. His first was 4.42. His second was 4.39.

**Billings had a pair of mid-4.4 runs.

**I think the scouts were surprised (pleasantly) by Johnson's 4.9.

**Billings is the early leader on the long jump: 10 feet, 6.5 inches.

**Lester was at 10-2.5.

**Maurice Smith, the former Olympic decathlete, jumped a 10-3.

**More long jump numbers: Walt McFadden (10-3.5), Coleman (9-8) and McKenzie (10-4).


**Gabe McKenzie (above) is ready to work today. He posted a 10-4 jump (the second best of the day among all players), a 37" vert jump and a 4.6 in the 40. He's in great shape.

**Coleman ran a 6.8 in the "three cone drill," which didn't seem to shock scouts. Or maybe they were hiding their enthusiasm. That could be the case.

**Scouts were more enthusiastic about McFadden's work in the three cone drill. I can't give you time, but I assure you the scouts were impressed.

**Here are the numbers from the bench press. It's a matter of how many repetitions of 225 pounds each player can complete: McKenzie (22), Lester (22), Ricks (15), Barrett (14), Todd (13), Robert Johnson (12), Maurice Smith (12), McFadden (5).

**Tate (combine), Coleman (combine), Billings (personal decision) and Dunn (personal decision) didn't compete in the bench press.
