Representatives from all 32 NFL teams gathered at the pro day held at Rutgers on March 13, where 17 Scarlett Knights went through a workout held indoors in a practice bubble on FieldTurf.
Steve Beauharnais, LB (6-foot-1 1/4, 234 pounds) — Beauharnais ran the 40-yard dash in 4.67 and 4.71 seconds, and had a 36-inch vertical jump. He then stood on the rest of his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine. Beauharnais had a good position workout; he’s very athletic and fluid.
Khaseem Greene, LB (6-0 7/8, 240) — Greene ran the 40 in 4.70 and 4.71 seconds, and had a 34-inch vertical jump. He stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine. Greene also had a good positional workout.
Mark Harrison, WR (6-3, 220) — Harrison — who was at the combine — has a broken left foot and was only measured at the pro day.
Jawan Jamison, RB (5-7 3/4, 207) — Jamison ran the 40 in 4.72 and 4.73 seconds, and did the short shuttle in 4.62 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.47 seconds. He stood on the rest of his combine numbers.
D.C. Jefferson, TE (6-6 1/8, 262) — Jefferson ran the 40 in 5.00 and 4.97 seconds. He had a 32 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-11 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.62 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.47 seconds. He did not do the bench press due to an injuy. Jefferson was also at the combine. He will be drafted by a team looking for a blocking tight end; he’s a good receiver, but a much better blocker.
Logan Ryan, CB (5-11 3/8, 192) — Ryan stood on all of his numbers from the combine.
Marcus Cooper, CB (6-2 1/8, 192) — Cooper ran the 40 in 4.45 and 4.46 seconds. He had a 39 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-9 broad jump. He ran the short shuttle in 4.42 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.89 seconds. He performed 20 lifts of 225 pounds on the bench press. Cooper — who was not at the combine — looked good in the defensive back drills.
Brandon Jones, CB (6-0 1/4, 191) — Jones ran the 40 in 4.56 and 4.59 seconds. He had a 36 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-10 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.08 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.76 seconds. He also had 17 lifts on the bench. Like Cooper, Jones — who was not at the combine — looked good in the positional workouts.
