Fresno State football held its annual Pro Day at Bulldog Stadium on Monday for players who have declared for the NFL Draft and seniors looking to impress scouts in order to possibly make an NFL roster.

Nineteen Bulldogs from last year’s team performed numerous drills in an attempt to spark interest from 33 professional scouts in attendance, which included 28 different NFL teams and Canadian Football League teams.

Most eyes were on touted prospects linebacker Jeff Allison, defensive back Mike Bell and wide receiver KeeSean Johnson to see if they were able to improve on the marks achieved while at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this month.

Monday was an opportunity for players who were not invited to the combine, like quarterback Marcus McMaryion, wide receiver Jamire Jordan and defensive back Anthoula ‘Tank” Kelly, to perform in front of NFL scouts before the upcoming NFL draft.

The Pro Day began at 10:30 a.m. at the Duncan Athletics Building, where players performed in the bench press, broad jump and vertical jump.

Linemen posted the three best bench press marks as Markus Boyer led all players with 26 repetitions, while Patrick Belony and Micah St. Andrew posted 25 reps each. Delvon Hardaway led all wide receivers with 17 reps, and Kelly led all defensive backs with 16.

As the test moved to Bulldog Stadium, the focus shifted to the 40-yard dash, as Johnson and Bell both improved on their combine numbers. Bell recorded a 4.65, and Johnson posted a 4.53. Allison declined to run the 40-yard dash.

Four Bulldogs posted sub-4.5 second 40-yard dashes. Wide receiver Brian Burt finished with 4.31 time, followed by Jordan (4.41), Kelly (4.43) and Hardaway (4.47).

Jordan may have had the most impressive day of all, finishing his day by posting a 42-inch vertical jump, a 10 foot 8 inch broad jump, a 4.0-second short shuttle mark and a 6.78 three-cone run to go along with his 4.41 40-yard dash.

McMaryion took part in a 35-40 rep showcase throwing to six different receivers who took part in Monday’s workouts.

McMaryion’s performance was above average for the most part. He was on point with many of his throws, including a few deep balls that his receivers failed to corral. But there were also times that some of his passes did not come out the way he would have liked.

McMaryion came out of Pro Day confident in the performances of both he and his teammates in front of the scouts.

“I’m excited for all the guys, and myself included, to have an opportunity in front of all these scouts,” McMaryion said. “Couple things here and there I’m sure everyone wished they had back, but overall, we put out our best performances.”

Bell, whom some media outlets project going as high as the third round in the NFL Draft, has continued to hear nothing but positive feedback from the scouts that he has spoken with during the draft process.

“Everybody likes my film. So far, they can tell my film speaks for itself,” said Bell. “A lot of coaches like me, and a lot of scouts have been talking to me. I’m excited for what is next.”

What is next for the former Bulldogs is the 2019 NFL Draft on April 25-27 in Nashville, Tennessee as the draft hopefuls will wait and see if their names will be called to continue their dreams of playing at the next level.
