Pro Day Discussions
A lot happened Tuesday at Arkansas' annual pro day. Here's just a recap, before we give you some audio clips from the future NFL pros and an ESPN analyst:
Marcus Monk has new life in the NFL Draft, Darren McFadden is disappointed in his bench press, Felix Jones is happy to be back in "Razorback Town," long-troubled defensive lineman Fred Bledsoe may have impressed some scouts, Marcus Harrison continued to impress and Peyton Hillis was a tad upset at Arkansas' Pro Day on Tuesday.
Monk reportedly ran a 4.41 and 4.43 in the 40-yard dash yesterday, according to numbers posted on NFL.com. The former Hog receiver has had to overcome two knee surgeries, but seems to be primed for a move up in the draft.
