EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon will hold its annual Pro Day on Tuesday, as more than a dozen former Ducks aim to improve their NFL Draft stock. According to the school's release, 18 departing players will be participating in the event, which will take place inside the Moshofsky Center on Tuesday morning.
The event will place these dozen-and-a-half draft hopefuls before numerous scouts and front office executives for three hours on Tuesday. Athletes will take part in athletic testing like the vertical jump, broad jump and 40-yard dash before working through position drills.
Here is the list of the 18 Oregon Pro Day participants:
Running back Noah Whittington
Wide receiver Malik Benson
Wide Receiver Gary Bryant Jr.
Tight end Kenyon Sadiq
Offensive lineman Matthew Bedford
Offensive lineman Alex Harkey
Offensive lineman Charlie Pickard
Offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon
Offensive lineman Isaiah World
Linebacker Bryce Boettcher
Defensive back Jadon Canady
Defensive back Theran Johnson
Defensive back Dillon Thieneman
Long snapper Luke Basso
Kicker Andrew Boyle
Punter James Ferguson-Reynolds
Punter Ross James
Kicker Atticus Sappington
It remains to be seen how much of the testing NFL Combine standouts Sadiq, Thieneman, Benson and Pregnon will take part in. In the past, those who've thrived in Indianapolis have rarely done more than drill work in Eugene.
DuckTerritory.com will be on hand to cover the days events. The event will run for three hours and is expected to include interview opportunities. Times and marks will be released in the afternoon on Tuesday.
