Just a day after combine workouts ended, pro days began.
Ball State hosted the first pro day workout in Muncie on Monday, and the Bears were reported among the 13 NFL teams with representatives watching a dozen athletes from the school doing workouts, according to the Muncie Star Press.
The top Ball State players working out were linebackers Alfred Chea and Joey Stemler, center Otto Hess, defensive tackle Drew Hughes, receiver Qian Magwood, and defensive end Nathan Voorhis.
The workout is the only one until Navy and Illinois State each hold one Thursday, but the first big one is Friday at Wisconsin. The Ball State workout was held so soon after the combine largely as a courtesy to scouts because of the school's close proximity to Indianapolis.

The pro day schedule starts with a trickle as NFL personnel people are focused on the start to free agency March 9, but the first big day is March 12 when Clemson, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State all hold pro days. All three schools are expected to have players drafted.

March 24 represents the heaviest workout day with nine schools holding them, including Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Louisville and North Carolina State. National champion Indiana holds one April 1.
The schedule for pro days currently runs through April 10 but it isn't complete. Schools add dates as the process gets going. For instance, Illinois' and Alabama's pro days aren't yet scheduled.
49ers Area scout Warren Ball was in attendance at Ball State’s pro day today.
