Florida Hosts 2016 Pro Day

The University of Florida football program is hosting its annual Pro Day today from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the team’s new indoor practice facility. Some 18 players such as Demarcus Robinson, Vernon Hargreaves III, and Jake McGee will showcase their talents in hopes of catching the eye of NFL coaches and scouts in attendance at the event.

Commenting on the event yesterday, Florida coach Jim McElwain said the players participating looked good.

Linebacker Antonio Morrison is expected to participate in all of today’s drills; something to note after he didn’t go to the NFL Combine. Hargreaves has stated that he will only be doing positional work today which means that he will not be running the 40 yard dash. At the combine, Hargreaves ran a 4.41 40 yard dash.

As usual, Pro Day will be closed to the public. However, footage from the event will be aired live nationally from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on SEC Network.
