2017 UConn Pro Day/UConn in 2017 NFL Draft/UDFA Contracts

[huskymedic]

Pro Day as mentioned previously is 3/22.

Here's a blurb from a Fuller article today.

>>I would anticipate a rather large number of NFL scouts to be on hand when UConn holds its pro day a week from today even though with the numbers Melifonwu put up at the NFL scouting combine, I would think he won't take part in many of the drills. It could be a huge day for former Huskies like Jhavon Williams, Noel Thomas and Andreas Knappe. In recent years some under the radar players out of UConn have opened eyes at UConn's pro day (B.J. McBryde, Kenton Adeyemi, Reuben Frank come to mind while Andrew Adams not only caught the eye of the New York Giants but played a key role as an undrafted rookie free agent).<<

Thomas as a lot of work to do after his combine performance. Hope he shows well.

I think the 40 time and bench press needs to show a little better.. other than that I thought he looked decent

Thomas needs to run under a 4.6 and a low 4.5 would be much better along being able to run the route tree.

Don't have all the results but #UConn's Matt Walsh with 30 reps & Mikal Myers with 29 in bench press

Would have tied for 5th among OL participants @ Combine.

30 would have been the best performance among LBs at the #NFLCombine, tied for 8th overall. Impressive numbers for the Madison native.

Wishing all the guys good numbers today

The pro day numbers further reveal that Balis likely knew what he was doing from a strength/explosion standpoint, but may have done it at the expense of speed.
