A total of 18 players — including 12 who were at the NFL Scouting Combine — participated at North Carolina’s pro day on Thursday.
Defensive end Robert Quinn, and linebackers Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant are projected to be picked in the first two rounds by NFL.com senior analyst Pat Kirwan in his latest two-round mock draft.
Other notables who participated included defensive lineman Marvin Austin, defensive backs Kendric Burney and Deunta Williams, wide receiver Greg Little and running back Johnny White.
Quinn (6-foot-4 3/8, 264 pounds) put on a show. He had a 33-inch vertical, 10-5 1/2 broad jump, 4.59-second 40-yard dash, 4.26 seconds in the short shuttle and completed 24 reps of 225 pounds in the bench press.
Little (6-2 3/4, 225) also impressed, with a 38-inch vertical, 10-10 broad jump, 4.53 40 and 4.19 short shuttle.
Carter (6-1 3/8, 243), Sturdivant (6-0 3/4, 239) and Williams (6-1 7/8, 205) stood on their combine numbers but went through positional drills, as did the rest of the prospects.
Austin (6-2 1/8, 301) broad jumped 9-1 and stood on the rest of his combine numbers.
Burney (5-9 1/4, 190) had a 30-inch vertical, a 9-4 broad jump, 4.69 40 and 4.45 short shuttle.
White (5-10 1/4, 210) broad jumped 9-8 and clocked a 4.53 40 to go with a 4.46 in the short shuttle.
