Pro day key for UNC’s hopefuls

Posted Mar 7, 2007

Jesse Holley was one of 10 players who completed their eligibility in November and participating in UNC’s annual pro timing day. Scouts from about 15 NFL teams were there to evaluate the players as they performed a variety of drills. All are hoping to hear their names called during the NFL draft in April. But for those who don’t, the pro timing day could lead to a free-agent tryout. (Fayetteville Observer)
