Colts were at Toledo's pro day to watch NT prospect Treyvon Hester

Hester had amazing workout clocking between 4.86 and 4.91 for his 40, jumping 31.5" vertical, 103" broad jump and running 4.71s short-shuttle!!! That's at 6'2.25" 304 pounds.

 

According to Tony Pauline he's one of the better NT prospects in the draft.

 

Unfortunately not much film on him, here's what I found:

I wonder if Ballard is like Polian?  With polian there were always reports of him at workouts to watch such and such a player, but usually he was there to watch someone else.

I don't think it is unusual or anything special for a GM to watch workouts. As far as a GM I think they are watching all of the players within eye view. If not they would have a scout being their eyes so all players at workouts are pretty much covered.

I think that is true during the year, but as it closer to the draft they have to be focusing in on specific players and when they go to a workout at a school it's for a specific player or two, not to watch all of them.

The only time a player gets a personal workout is when they are brought in specific for that. When a GM goes to a workout that involves more than one player he might have a specific player in mind but he also has his eyes on what is going on with all the players.

I have heard stories about GMs talking about that more than a few times. They go to look at a specific player but end up being impressed by another player. Especially if they take interest for a player in later rounds.

Colts interested in Florida ILB Jarad Davis according to Tony Pauline:

During last Friday’s edition of the DA Draft Buzz, I noted that two teams both grade Florida’s Jarrad Davis as a first-round pick. On Sunday I learned a few teams stamp the linebacker as a top 20-prospect and feel that he’ll be gone by the middle of Round 1.

The teams I’m hearing that are interested in Davis include the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins.
