The University of Utah football program conducted a pro day for its NFL Draft-eligible players on Thursday morning.
Star linebacker Devin Lloyd, a projected first-round pick, watches as other Utes help their NFL draft stock
Wishing to not further an injury is always a valid reason to skip an on-campus pro day, but so too is the fact that Lloyd went through the NFL scouting combine last month, so he already has his numbers out there. Furthermore, he remains projected to be selected inside the top 20 at the NFL Draft on April 28.
Utah has not had a first-round pick since Garrett Bolles was selected 20th overall by the Denver Broncos in 2017. Lloyd is primed to become just the program’s ninth first-round pick dating back to 1959. “In talking with my agent , the numbers at the Combine are kind of official,” Sewell said. “Everything is lasered, all the scouts are there watching things closely. We discussed it and decided to just take the numbers I have.Sewell says he has met with all 32 teams, either formally or informally.
Without knowing the numbers, Pledger believed he helped his own cause on Thursday, nearly two months removed from helping himself with an out-of-nowhere Senior Bowl invitation.
