Several NFL squads watch Georgia Southern players work out
STATESBORO - Several professional scouts and position coaches were on hand Thursday as former Georgia Southern football players went through their Pro Day at Allen E. Paulson Stadium. One Savannah State player was also invited and went through the day's activities.
Former Eagle players who worked out were, in alphabetical order: Rashad Byrd (LB), Raymond Johnson III (DE) and Ryan Langan (LS).
With COVID-19 protocols still at the forefront, limited participants and spectators were allowed. The morning started with measurements, along with heights and weights being taken before the players worked out on the bench press and performed the vertical jump inside the weight room. After moving to the turf, each player did the broad jump, ran two 40s, did the shuttle and cone drills and then the scouts worked out the players by position groups.
Top individual performances included:
• Byrd - 34" vertical; 9'6" broad jump
• Johnson III - 33" vertical; 9'7" broad jump; 4.74 40; 7.24 3 Cone
• Langan - great snaps like always
Teams in attendance were the Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. Those who were unable to attend will be sent video and results of the workouts if requested.
The 2021 NFL Draft will be held April 29-May 1.
