The Ohio State football team had its Pro Day on Wednesday. It was a chance for players to increase their draft stock with just about a month left until the NFL Draft. More than a few Buckeyes were able to showcase their skills during this Pro Day and some of them even improved their stock.
Following the NFL Combine, the Buckeyes had a few guys who were hoping for some better performances in the friendly confines of the Woody. Will Howard was one of those players. He didn't have the best Combine but had a much better performance on Wednesday.
Howard was a lot more accurate with his deep and intermediate passes. Those were the kinds of passes that he was struggling with in Indy. His tape shows that he can make those throws, too. Howard wasn't the only Buckeye to improve his stock, though.
Ohio State football players that improved their draft stock during Pro Day
Receiver Emeka Egbuka was also someone who improved his stock. His 40-yard dash time improved from what he ran in Indy. He ran a 4.45, which could bump him up to being a first-round pick. He is someone who is on the fringes of being a first-rounder so that time should help him.
Jordan Hancock is perhaps the guy who helped himself the most. The cornerback didn't get to show a lot of snaps on the outside, but he equipped himself to be a pretty good nickel guy. His numbers at Pro Day certainly helped his stock about as much as they possibly could have.
No one ran a faster 40-yard dash time than Hancock. He ran a 4.42, which is really darn fast. He also had the best vertical jump, getting up 41.5 inches. Basically, he showed how good of an athlete he is. Whichever team decides to draft him is getting a steal because he could be a fourth-round pick
All three players look like they helped their stock with strong performances. Now, it's all about what team drafts them and how good of a fit it will be for each skill set.
