Draft Dish: Pair of Horned Frogs jumping up the board
Article By rlande.tsn on 16th March, 2010
As NFL prospects perform this month all over the country in their on-campus workouts for scouts, coaches and personnel men, a number of players have helped or hurt their draft stock:
Daryl Washington is on teams' radar after a solid pro day. Two TCU prospects really shined in their pro day and helped their draft stock. LB Daryl Washington had a good all-around workout and showed the quickness, explosiveness and athleticism that excites NFL coaches.

Hughes' performance on film left many to wonder if he could play about his ability to play outside linebacker in the NFL, but there no longer is any doubt about his ability to make the switch and play in the open field.
It was disappointing that DT Gerald McCoy decided not to do the 225-pound bench press at Oklahoma's pro day, but scouts in attendance all said his workout was impressive enough to overshadow any question about his lack of upper-body strength. He showed rare quickness, explosiveness and athleticism for a defensive tackle, which enable him to stay in top-five consideration despite his poor bench-press showing (23 reps) at the Combine.
Baylor WR David Gettis is a tease who could get way overdrafted. He looks like an NFL receiver and shows the quickness, acceleration and speed in the 40-yard dash and other timed tests to convince some GM that he could develop in the NFL. However, he was not nearly as impressi...
