    Private pro day workouts are being held around the country

    With official pro day workouts canceled, some 2020 NFL Draft prospects are holding private pro day workouts to show NFL scouts what they can do.

    With life thrown into a tailspin, several 2020 NFL Draft prospects have taken matters into their own hands with the help of former NFL scouts and players. Private pro day workouts for players not invited to the NFL Combine in February have been held around the nation with the video results being sent to teams around the league. Here are the results from two recent workouts.

    Alcorn State prospects workout with former NFL players

    Former NFL players Mike Espy and Lardarius Webb held a pro day workout in Madison, Mississippi which featured Chris Blair and Javen Morrison, two underrated prospects from Alcorn State.

    Blair, a receiver who caught 44 passes for 931 yards with 7 TD’s last season, measured 6-foot-2 inches and 206 pounds. His 40 times were clocked between 4.47 to 4.50 seconds and Blair touched 40.5 inches in the vertical jump.

    Morrison, the smallish cornerback that’s also a game impacting return specialist, measured 5-foot-9.5 inches and 167 pounds. He timed 4.48 seconds in the 40 as well as 4.19 seconds in the short shuttle.

    Austin Peay receiver Keenan Barnes also participated in the workout, measuring 6-foot-3.75 inches and 216 pounds. He timed 4.67 seconds in the 40 and touched 37 inches in the vertical jump.
