In this story:


On Thursday morning, 15 Clemson Tigers took part in the program's annual Pro Day ahead of the NFL Draft, including nine who had already worked out at the NFL Combine two weeks prior.

All 32 NFL teams were in attendance, most with multiple scouts on hand, alongside at least four auto racing teams that have made a habit of scouting former Tigers. The most intriguing visitor of them all, though, was a scout from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League.

However, before getting into individual performances, it's worth noting that cornerback Avieon Terrell sat out following a minor hamstring injury he suffered during on-field drills at the NFL Combine, per ESPN's Jordan Reid. He's scheduled to hold a private workout for scouts on March 30th.

Offensive lineman Tristan Leigh was also a late scratch for Pro Day, as he's going through a nagging injury and missed all testing. But the date for his private workout has not yet been announced.

With that, let's dive into the nine primary Tigers. Note that some players only participated in positional drills, so if you see that most of their testing results came from the NFL Combine, that's why.

Other Notable Performances:

The seven other players that tested at Clemson's Indoor Practice Facility included center Ryan Linthicum, cornerback Jeadyn Lukus, offensive lineman Walker Parks, defensive ends Zaire Patterson and Cade Denhoff, as well as long snappers Philip Florenzo and Holden Caspersen.

Lukus was the standout of the group, running an electric 4.41 40-yard dash and recording an absurd 11'7" broad jump. This mark would have broken this year's NFL Combine record, where Georgia State wide receiver Ted Hurst and Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers shared the top spot at 11 '3".

But Parks also brought his A-game, recording 31 bench press reps, which would have tied him for the third-best at the NFL Combine, trailing only his teammate Blake Miller and Texas A&M's Trey Zuhn III.
