It is almost that time of the year where college football players go out and put their skills on display for NFL scouts. Hopefully, the end result is getting the call that they have always dreamed of.

With the NFL draft a little over a month away, now is the time for the players to dig deep, catch that extra wind and show everybody why they are better than the rest of the competition. 

With ULM recently having its annual pro day, there are some exceptional talents that could have their name called at the draft and if not drafted, have at least a try-out with a team.

The pro day had 14 different team representatives to see the athletes showcase their skills.

There were 15 out of 32 NFL scouts at the event.

ULM had six players participate in the pro day. Brian Williams was the lone receiver, Frank Sutton was the only O-Linemen, Roland Jenkins, Juwan Offray and junior JJ Dallas showed up for the defensive backs.

Caleb Tucker participated for the linebackers group and Luke Hutchinson for long snapper.

Also at pro day was Jalen Tolliver who played wide receiver at University of Arkansas Monticello where he owns every receiving record.

Tolliver ran a 4.58 40-yard dash and had a 37.5-inch vertical jump. Among the ULM prospects, Offray had the fastest 40 time with a 4.66.

Dallas had the top vertical and broad jump with a vertical of 33.3 inches and a broad jump of 9 feet 11 inches.

Caleb Tucker had the best day on the bench press, hitting 22 reps on 225 pounds.

The old saying “go big or go home” is what comes into play when you are participating in an event of this magnitude.

“I felt it was a good experience, blessed to be apart of it, and it was a big eye opener to the business side of things,” said Frank Sutton when asked about his performance.

“I feel I stand about even with other players at my position, but I feel my height will give me a better chance,” said receiver Brian Williams.

Standing at 6 foot, 4 inches, would be a huge advantage when the average height of a NFL receiver is 6 foot 1.

“On my pro day, I got everything out of it that I wanted. I only wish I could have ran faster than a 4.6, but that is still good for my size,”  linebacker Caleb Tucker said.

The NFL draft will be held April, 26 through the 28 at AT&T Stadium.
