YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Seniors from the 2021 Eastern Michigan University football team worked out for professional scouts at the St. Joe's Sports Dome Thursday, March 17.
Nearly 30 scouts from organizations within the National Football League (NFL) and XFL visited the event, allowing the former EMU players to showcase their talents in drills and exercises that mirror the NFL Scouting Combine.
The prospects were timed in the 40-yard dash, 20 and 60-yard shuttles, and three-cone drill before going through position work. Other measurable drills held earlier in the day included the bench press, broad jump, and vertical jump. The prospects also went through a flexibility test and had their height, weight, hand width, arm length, and wing span measured by personnel from NFL teams.
Participating in the pro day drills were Bryson Cannon, Jake Julien, Alvinoski LaFleur, Freddie McGee III, Terry Myrick, Thomas Odukoya, Turan Rush, Woo Scott Sr., Michael Smith Jr., and Mike Van Hoeven.
The 10 players hope to hear their name called over the three-day span of the 2022 NFL Draft, April 28-30. EMU has had numerous players selected in recent drafts; Darius Jackson in 2016, Pat O'Connor in 2017, and Maxx Crosby in 2019. Those who are undrafted will look to join the likes of 2020 Super Bowl Champion Andrew Wylie and 2021 Super Bowl Champ Pat O'Connor on the list of undrafted EMU student-athletes to have NFL success during Chris Creighton's tenure (2014-Pres.).
