TROY, Ala. – Sixteen former Troy football players, and several players from other local schools, worked out for 16 NFL scouts on Monday at Troy's annual Pro Day at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Â
Players took the Wonderlic Test and were measured for height and weight before the physical tests, which included the vertical jump, broad jump, 225-pound bench press, 40-yard dash, shuttle run and the three-cone drill.
Â
Quarterback Deon Anthony, who also went through wide receiver drills, posted a 36.5-inch vertical jump, ran a 4.44 in the 40-yard dash and clocked a time of 4.22 in the shuttle run to impress the scouts in attendance.
Â
Wide receiver Eric Thomas was also solid on the Veterans Memorial Stadium turf with a 4.5 in the 40-yard dash and a 4.25 in the shuttle run, while making several nice grabs from quarterback Corey Robinson on deep passes.
Â
The best 40-yard dash came from wide receiver Wilson Van Hooser who sprinted to a 4.40 time, while wide receiver Chris Williams turned in a time of 4.44. Van Hooser also had the best vertical jump of the day at 39 inches, while Xavier Melton had the most reps at 225 pounds with 35. Â Safety Camren Hudson turned in a solid all-around performance with 27 reps on the bench press and a 4.47 40-yard dash.
Â
Will Scott showed off his leg as both a punter and a place kicker for several of the scouts and left them impressed after several booming kickoffs and multiple field goals from over 50 yards.
