Lunchtime Thoughts: 3/11/10

ByTravis Stewart/Texas Football --What Pro Days are worth, Houston Yates' issues with sportsmanship and the Texans' move along the OL.

Looking at college football Pro Days
Every year, dozens (if not hundreds) of deserving college football players are stiff-armed at the annual NFL Combine, left at home while the top talents in the country are dissected, cross-examined, re-dissected and then interrogated to judge their value to a potential suitor. Somewhere along the line, Pro Days started popping up all over the country, and now even non-FBS programs host their own to try and maximize their players' exposure. A&M's was yesterday, and of all the participants -- including 2009 graduate Alton Dixon -- Jordan Pugh appears to have put on the finest showing. Corners with speed to burn are a hot item in the modern era of NFL football, so he might have pushed himself up a few spots come draft time in April. TCU's Pro Day is tomorrow (Friday), and guys like Marcus Cannon, Rafael Priest and Nick Sanders have a lot to gain out of a good showing. Daryl Washington and Jerry Hughes are both locks for a high round. But those other TCU kids can improve their stock with some strong numbers.
