Tomlin has made a habit of attending the LSU pro day since being hired in 2007 and this year he’ll reportedly watch 18 athletes go through the paces and that list in alphabetical order includes Jamal Adams, Kendell Beckwith, Josh Boutte, Tashawn Bower, Colby Delahoussaye, Malachi Dupre, Travin Dural, Leonard Fournette, Davon Godchaux, Rickey Jefferson, Colin Jeter, Lewis Neal, Ethan Pocic, Duke Riley, DeSean Smith, Dwayne Thomas, Tre’Davious White. Track athlete Cyril Grayson will also reportedly participate.
Several of the players listed above figure to be selected during the first two days of the 2017 NFL Draft and leading that list are Adams, a safety, White, a cornerback, and Fournette, one of the top-rated running backs in this year’s class.
White, who measured in at this year’s scouting combine at 5112, 192-pounds, ran the 40-yard-dash while in Indianapolis in 4.47 seconds. In the 49 games that he played in at LSU he registered six interceptions and 34 total pass breakups.
As for Fournette, who measured in at the combine at 6004, 240-pounds, he’s reportedly dropped some weight since getting back from Indianapolis. The running back rushed for 3,830 yards and 40 touchdowns on 616 carries in the 32 games that he played in at LSU. He also caught 41 passes for another 526 yards and a score.
