\"\"<\/a>JMU Football hosted its NFL “Pro Scout Day”<\/a>\u00a0on Friday, providing players such as Arthur Moats, Dorian Brooks, Mike Caussin, and Scotty McGee an opportunity to showcase their skills. After recently training with Darrell Green<\/a>, McGee ran a blazing fast 40 in 4.37 seconds. 4.37 is a very impressive number. Not as impressive as 22 though, which was the number of NFL scouts that were present. That might not sound like much, but in years past JMU’s Pro Day has drawn only a handful of NFL reps.<\/p>\n

After putting up impressive numbers at the combine, Moats and Brooks chose to just participate in position drills for the scouts. Caussin and McGee however, ran through the full set of drills and tests. The scouts measured Caussin at 6’5″, 252 pounds, before watching him bench press 225 lbs 23 times and run 40’s in the 4.7 range. McGee came in at 5’8″, 183 lbs, also had 23 reps in the bench, and ran his ridiculous 4.37. For those scoring at home that means I am as tall as Caussin, as heavy as McGee, and much slower and weaker than both of them.<\/p>\n

Friday’s record turnout for scouts, shows that pros are taking notice of the talent Coach Matthews is bringing to the ‘burg. The fact that it was a sunny day with temps in the 70’s the first week after spring break and campus was probably crawling with beautiful coeds probably didn’t hurt either.\u00a0Whatever their motives for coming were, the scouts had to leave impressed. It’s looking like Moats prospects of getting drafted are improving by the day and Brooks has a shot also. Caussin and McGee did well enough on Friday\u00a0to attract some attention. Their prospects are certainly better now, than they were before Pro Day.<\/p>\n
