Representatives from 14 NFL teams were at the Brigham Young pro day on March 29 to watch prospects work out indoors on FieldTurf. No position coaches attended.
Matt Reynolds, OL, (6-foot-4 7/8, 305 pounds) — Reynolds was at the NFL Scouting Combine. He ran the 40-yard dash in 5.12 and 5.20 seconds, recorded a 29-inch vertical, an 8-foot-11 broad jump, a 4.68-second short shuttle, a 7.55-second three-cone. His arms measured 33 1/8-inches long, and he didn’t bench press.
He’s older, because he missed school to go on a religious mission. He had a good workout, though he didn’t knock anyone’s socks off.
Hebron “Loni” Fangupo, DL,(6-1, 323) — He stood on most of what he did at the combine. At the pro day, he did position drills and ran the three-cone in 7.72 seconds. His workout was limited because of a pectoral problem. He did well, but again, it was a short workout.
McKay Jacobson, WR, (5-9 7/8, 188) — Jacobson ran the 40-yard dash in 4.5 both times. He recorded a 37-inch vertical and a 9-8 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.13 seconds and the three-cone in 6.67 seconds, and did 12 strength lifts. Jacobson showed off his creativity, working with former BYU QB Max Hall to put together his own unique scripted positional workout, and did very well with it, impressing with his ball-catching skills. The former highly touted high school player projects as a slot receiver; I think he’ll be drafted in the seventh round or so. Jacobson has the chance to be a very good pro player.
Travis Uale, S, (6-2, 208) — Uale ran the 40-yard dash in 4.65 and 4.71 seconds. He had a 36-inch vertical, a 10-1 broad jump, a 4.18-second short-shuttle and a 6.89-second three-cone. He also did 16 strength lifts.
