Guys, my first nugget of info doesn't even have to do with pro day. Junior CB Brandon Facyson was walking around on crutches with a brace on his right knee. He had some loose cartilage on his patella tendon that recently had to be cleaned off. He'll miss all of spring practice, but should be back in plenty of time for fall camp. Sounds like more of a precaution to keep him out all spring.
Wide receiver Isaiah Ford looks a lot bigger and chiseled. And for good reason. He told me he's gone from 179 pounds during the season to 191 now. That should allow him to take more of a pounding during the season.
RB JC Coleman is really marketing himself as Darren Sproles. He told me to make sure I mentioned it and also talked about it in formal media interviews. That might be the best successful guy of his size to compare to, but it'll be interesting to see if someone takes a chance on him in free agency.
DE Dadi Nicolas had a very impressive pro day. I'll have to double check the time, but he said he was told that he ran a 4.65 40-yard dash, which is a pretty good time. At 239 pounds, he's also put on some much-needed weight, which a Jacksonville Jaguars scout told him was very good to see. The biggest knock on Nicolas is he needs a lot of work in pass coverage. He's too small to be a defensive end, so he'd have to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 in all likelihood. I'm starting to think he's more of a fifth round pick, but someone will take a chance on him. A Colts scout also kept checking on Nicolas.
CB Kendall Fuller and DT Luther Maddy did not participate in drills. Maddy did do the bench press,but I haven't seen the number that he did. Fuller seems pretty content not to do any work in front of scouts before the draft. Maddy on the other hand, wants to have a separate pro day April 19 and hopes he can get some NFL scouts to attend. Maddy has knee tendinitis and had a procedure done last month on it. Still not 100% yet.
It seems like the Falcons, Lions and the Steelers are most interested in TE Ryan Malleck. He mentioned the Steelers, but a Falcons scout also threw to him and seemed to be very interested. The Steelers' tight ends coach, James Daniel, was also very involved in Malleck's drills and showed some big interest.
Also weird to see, but former Miami coach Al Golden was on hand. He's now with the Detroit Lions as tight ends coach, so that's certainly something to watch with Malleck. There's certainly interest there.
