"[Melvin] Ingram stayed in school for one more season and is going to make a lot of money because of it. All he did at the pro day was get weighed and measured, and did position drills. If he had entered the draft last year, he would have gone in the fourth or fifth round. Now he's a top-12 pick. In the next two weeks, he has 12 visits scheduled with teams."
"[Alshon] Jeffery had a very good pro day...Jeffery likely made himself a potential first-round pick with this workout. He could be selected anywhere from No. 25 to No. 40. He was highly touted, then his stock fell, but now it's way up again."
