RICHMOND, Ky. – The EKU football team held its annual Pro Day on Monday, March 10 as 11 Colonels showcased their skills in front of 23 coaches and scouts from 20 NFL organizations.
 
Participating for the Colonels were Darrian Baker (DL), Joshua Carter (RB), Payton Collins (OL), Jonathan Duff (LS), Kyler Edwards (OL), Marvion Field (DL), Jaycob Horn (WR), Matt Morrissey (QB), Vincent Munlin Jr. (OL), Patrick Nations (K), and Mike Smith Jr. (DB).
 
All 11 Colonels turned in impressive final performances on CG Bank Field at Roy Kidd Stadium. On the day, the group was tested on the bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, 40-yard dash, L-drill, and shuttle before being put through individual position work by the NFL staff in attendance.
 
Defensive back Mike Smith Jr. recorded an eye-popping 38-inch vertical to start the day a mark that would have tied for fourth best at this year's NFL Combine of safeties measured.
 
"An event like this shows that you can come to a place like EKU and put it on film that you're going to be seen," said head coach Walt Wells. "We got a great turnout of scouts and coaches from NFL organizations, and it's just a great day."
