Alabama Football Pro Day Cancelled by the NFL

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama football's Pro Day, which was scheduled for April 9, has been cancelled by the NFL, along with all other pro days across the country in wake of COVID-19.

The NFL also announced that it will be suspending all pre-draft visits to campuses by NFL and team personnel.

The story was first reported by Sports Illustrated.

Prior to today's announcement, the Crimson Tide informed NFL team personnel yesterday that they would not be allowed to visit campus until March 30.

The Crimson Tide program had also shifted its Pro Day from March 24 to April 9, that same day that was when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's lone Pro Day was scheduled.

A statement sent out by UA director of athletics Greg Byrne announced the decision:

“The health and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans is of the utmost importance," Byrne's statement read. "Pursuant to SEC directive, we will restrict attendance at our on-campus athletics events in Tuscaloosa through at least March 30. When additional information becomes available, we will communicate it at that time. That will also include information on tickets that have already been purchased in advance for upcoming events.”

Along with the suspension of Pro Day and pre-draft communications with the NFL, Alabama also announced that all spring football practices will be suspended until further notice.
