Not every high-level -- or big-name -- prospect was able to work out at the NFL Scouting Combine.
That makes a handful of upcoming pro days extremely important for a few prospects. Here's a look at a dozen of them.
Injured players, such as Oregon cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Georgia running back Todd Gurley and Texas A&M offensive tackle Cedric Ogbuehi, are not on this list. Neither is Connecticut cornerback Byron Jones, who didn't run the 40 at the combine but did all the other tests and posted an astounding broad jump of 12 feet, 3 inches. (One of the best parts about Jones' broad jump is the reaction by Arizona State safety Damarious Randall, who turns away in seeming disbelief after the stupendous leap.)
Michael Bennett, DT, Ohio State
A.J. Cann, OG, South Carolina
Tevin Coleman, RB, Indiana
Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State
Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State
Jeff Heuerman, TE, Ohio State
Hau'oli Kikaha, LB, Washington
Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF
Shane Ray, DE, Missouri
Three safeties
(Note: We're grouping these three together because the safety board is so jumbled after Alabama's Landon Collins, who questionably is the top prospect at the position. Who's second-best -- and third-best, etc.? That's a good question.)
