My athlete had his first pro day today. Weird it started at 8am. Seemed early.
Overall, it was a huge rush to get guys tested.
No agenda was given until 5 minutes before the first test. Was hard to plan warm ups etc.
They started with ht wt, then jumps. My guy was 5"11 and 186 (corner). Vert was 36.5 and broad was 9’11.5
They then went to 40s. I had him at 4.31 on my watch. One team told us he was at 4.46. After his run, one team scout turned around and said “holy shit, what did you get?” So i m guessing that was a good thing. At least on my watch, he ran the fastest time since we started, which is great considering we haven’t done much since his hammy cramp almost 4 weeks ago. We have done mostly 20s at sub max.
The agility testing was a disaster. They broke guys into two groups, they got 1 clean time. My guy was last and tip toed on crappy turf. Was on of best times there too. (3 cone)
The next agility test (short shuttle) was done about 2 minutes later (seriously). He didn’t do well. Turf was all torn up. He was absolutely the last one on this test.
They asked him to do long shuttle and again the turf was awful.
He did not bench and waited about 30 minutes before doing position drills. Immediately after, he was asked to do some mental test on paper called TAP.
He was invited to come to another pro day to re test his agility times. Hope their turf is better.
Overall, was good performance. We think he did well enough to get on a roster for rookie camp in may. There are about 6 teams interested and 3 are seriously interested. I’m excited for him, especially since he coming from small school.
