There were over 150 Pro Days in March. The Johnny Manziel Pro Day in College Station was the most attended, unique and not to be duplicated. Even McGill University had a Pro Day. Nine teams traveled to Canada to check out offensive lineman, and doctor-to-be, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. He wasn't invited to the Scouting Combine but his workout numbers were as good as any lineman that was invited. Every weekday in March had at least one Pro Day scheduled. Most had at least seven. A couple had as many as twelve. That's a crazy schedule. For some reason, the Cleveland Browns were especially selective with their attendance. They had no representatives at the Manziel Pro Day or the South Carolina/Jadeveon Clowney Pro Day. They were probably the only team to do so. The Pro Day activity slows down considerably in April. Some teams might even take a little vacation before they make final preparations for the May 8-10 NFL Draft. The Minnesota Vikings did just that. There are still some big Pro Days coming up next week.

I've wondered if Georgia scheduled at the end of the Pro Day tour with the hope that quarterback Aaron Murray might be healthy enough to take part. He tore an ACL during the season. If not for that injury, he might have been in part of the quarterback conversation with Manziel, Teddy Bridgewater, Blake Bortles, and Derek Carr.
The Pro Days are coming to an end. All that we'll have left is hypothetical draft chatter. With the later draft this year, we'll even have a couple more weeks of that.
