The pro day circuit has officially kicked off for NFL teams.
Scouts, coaches and even general managers will travel around the country attending various pro days for different universities. If you’re unfamiliar, a pro day is essentially a miniature NFL combine held by schools with draft-eligible players. They’ll go through all the same measured testing and several on-field workouts that they would if they attended the NFL Scouting Combine.
The Kansas City Chiefs got their tour started with a trip down I-70 to Manhattan, Kansas. There they were able to visit the Kansas State pro day and view the 2020 NFL draft prospects. Kansas State was one of the teams that didn’t have any players at the combine.
According to Herbie Teope of the Kansas City Star, there were a total of 18 teams in attendance for the pro day, including the Chiefs.
A total of twelve Wildcats participated in the pro day at Kansas State.
- P Devin Anctil
- RB Jordon Brown
- DT Trey Dishon
- OT Scott Frantz
- RB James Gilbert
- OL Nick Kaltmayer
- DB Kevion McGee
- LB Da’Quan Patton
- DB Darreyl Patterson
- WR Dalton Schoen
- DE Reggie Walker
- DB Eli Walker
One player, in particular, had a standout performance in front of NFL scouts. According to Yahoo Sports’ Terez Paylor, WR Dalton Schoen weighed in just under 6-feet-1 and 206 pounds. He also ran a 40-yard dash between 4.44 and 4.48.
I’m told that Schoen also added 15 repetitions on the bench press and had a vertical jump of 35 inches.
The Chiefs added former Kansas State WR Byron Pringle in undrafted free agency following the 2018 NFL Draft. Like Pringle, Schoen would be a prime target for Kansas City as a priority free agent.
We’ll have a full list of upcoming pro days for you soon on Chiefs Wire. Be sure you’re following on Facebook and Twitter.
