Key Prospects Missing Workout
On Monday, we learned that three of the top prospects attending the NFL Combine were not going to participate in the workouts including Mississippi QB Matt Corral, Alabama OT Evan Neal and LSU CB Derek Stingley Jr. All three will take part in scheduled interviews with multiple NFL teams and are expected to workout during their respective pro days.
Neal is projected to go in the Top 10 and could go as high as number 1 overall to Jacksonville. Stingley, who has dealt with injures over the past two seasons at LSU, is considered one of the top rated Cornerbacks in the draft and could go as high as the top 10 but health will be a question as he rehabs from Lisfranc surgery. Corral, who many analysts have as a 1st round draft pick, suffered a high ankle sprain during the Sugar Bowl vs Baylor but is expected to be a full participant at the Ole Miss Pro Day on March 23.
Tomorrow, we will get a chance to ask Broncos GM George Paton and HC Nathaniel Hackett about these prospects and more as they address the media around 10am MTN (12pm ET) in Indianapolis.
