A scout from every NFL team was on hand on Monday.įormer Miami defensive tackle Chigozie Nnoruka, who played for UM in 2019 after transferring from UCLA, also participated in Pro Day.4 Following. He said he nailed various field goals that teams asked him to attempt, and he displayed improvements on kickoffs, showing he can kick off to the right side, which he hadn’t done much on film.Īmong NFL coaches present at Miami Pro Day were Brian Flores of the Miami Dolphins, Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots and Joe Judge of the New York Giants. ![]() I’m completely okay with the way went in total.”īorregales, the Lou Groza Award winner as college football’s top kicker last season, is widely projected as the first kicker that will be taken in the draft. “I definitely think I showed my athleticism,” said Roche, who added he felt his niche in the NFL would be as a 3-4 outside linebacker. His 40 was 4.66, shuttle was 4.42, had a 32 1/2-inch vertical and 9-foot-11 broad jump. Roche led the group on the bench with 23 reps. In outdoor position drills, Jordan caught passes from former Miami quarterback N’Kosi Perry, who plans to transfer upon academic completion of the spring semester at UM. … We’re going to get back to training, and it’s time to focus on some real football.” I don’t know who got that down for the shuttle,” Jordan said. He ran the 40 in 4.67 seconds, completed 17 reps on the bench, had a 30-inch vertical, 9-foot-8 broad jump, but he was most displeased with his shuttle time (4.62). Jordan, up to be one of the top tight ends chosen after Florida’s Kyle Pitts, said he was “disappointed” with how drills went for him. “I also feel that I’m a very versatile athlete and I fit into a lot of schemes.” ![]() “I don’t have a lot of film, but I feel I showed a lot in the time that I did play,” Rousseau said. While it bothered Rousseau, watching Miami’s game days last fall, to not play alongside his former teammates, he has no regrets. Rousseau said he focused on improving various aspects of his game - from his get-off to his hands and his explosiveness - in the time he took to train away from the team. “I could’ve done better, but there’s always room for improvement, so I’m just going to get back to work these next few weeks.” “I feel like I left some things out there,” Rousseau said. Rousseau ran a 4.68-second 40, did 21 bench-press reps, posted a 4.45-seond shuttle, had a 30-inch vertical and 9-foot-7 broad jump. He had eye-popping measurables with his 83 1/4-inch wingspan and 11-inch hands. Rousseau (6-6 1/2, 266) was a key prospect to watch after he opted out of the 2020 season and scouts hadn’t seen him since his 15 1/2-sack 2019 campaign. Phillips (6-5, 260) also benched 21 reps of 225 pounds, and had the quickest shuttle time of Miami’s draft prospects (4.12 seconds) It gave me a deeper appreciation for what this game is.” It made me have this chip on my shoulder. All of that really just gave me a better look at everything. ![]() “Everybody’s path to success isn’t linear at all. I think all the guys that worked out today showed they can be an asset to any NFL franchise.” “Now, it’s up to the NFL leading up to the draft to make their decisions. “I believe our guys helped themselves today,” Miami coach Manny Diaz said. Phillips shined as he was joined by other Hurricanes draft prospects in fellow edge rushers Gregory Rousseau and Quincy Roche, tight end Brevin Jordan and kicker Jose Borregales participating in their Pro Day at UM’s facilities, which took on greater importance in this year’s draft process given the lack of a scouting combine. He was originally clocked at 4.46 seconds, unofficially, according to the ACC Network telecast, before being corrected. Phillips, after an eight-sack season in 2020, ran a 4.56-second 40-yard dash at Miami’s Pro Day on Monday afternoon, a blazing time for a defensive end. After a successful 2020 season with the Miami Hurricanes, defensive end and NFL draft prospect Jaelan Phillips showed once again why he’s so highly regarded, despite some teams and analysts’ concerns. ![]()
