This week Kentucky will conduct its annual NFL Pro Day at the Nutter Indoor Field House for draft eligible players beginning at 11 a.m. on Friday afternoon.
The select players will go through a number of drills to showcase their athletic ability and talents, gathering individual statistics to provide to NFL organizations in hopes of getting put in their draft decisions. They'll be participating in drills such as running and agility, bench press, position-specific drills and the vertical jump. At 10:30 a.m., their personal measurements will be recorded followed by their vertical and broad jumps, including their 225 rep test at 11:15 a.m. At close to noon, they will then begin the final drills which include the 40-yard test, Short Shuttle, 3-Cone Shuttle, 60-yard Shuttle and lastly the position drills (OL, DB, DL, WR, TE, QB).
UK announced that 11 players will participate in this year's UK Pro Day.

There will be NFL scouts and player personnel from nearly every organization there to grade the team. Seven of the players listed above competed in the NFL Scouting Combine last month, and this will be another chance for them to continue proving why they're worth getting drafted.
