NFL Pro Days are right around the corner with the first pro days kicking off the second week in March. Pro Days don’t begin until after the NFL Combine, which takes place this year from February 28 –March 6, 2017.
Pro days offer NFL coaches and scouts an opportunity to get an up-close look at NFL prospects while they’re in their home college stadiums and facilities. Pro days aren't as all-encompassing as the NFL Combine, but they offer scouts a great opportunity to evaluate, speak with and even coach up Draft prospects.
In past years, many, if not most of the Bengals’ draft picks have been players who the team scouted at their college pro day. In 2015 alone, the Bengals attended the Pro Days of C.J, Uzomah, DeShawn Williams, Marcus Hardison, Jake Kumerow, Tyler Kroft, Jake Fisher, P.J. Dawson. They all remain on the team’s roster. In 2016, the Bengals went to the Pro Days of Alex Erickson, Tyler Boyd, Cody Core, Andrew Billings, Christian Westerman and Clayton Fejedelem. So, pro days certainly matter and if the Bengals are attending a pro day, they likely have their eyes on at least one of that college’s players.
Here’s a list of all the Pro Days currently scheduled. More dates will be added as we approach the second week in March.
