In this story:

The Detroit Lions have started to send coaches and scouts to the many collegiate Pro Days scheduled over the next month. 

Pro Football Network reports the Lions, along with the other 31 NFL teams, were present at Purdue's Pro Day on Thursday. 

The team reportedly paid extra attention to Boilermakers quarterback Aidan O’Connell, who is projected as a Day 3 pick. 

Detroit's personnel department had previously met with the Big Ten signal-caller at the Shrine Bowl and checked-in at last week's NFL Scouting Combine.

According to NFL Draft Bible, "A very accurate passer, it seems as though all his throws are right on target and only where his receiver can catch it. Impeccable timing on his passes, you can tell he used his first two seasons focusing on the mental aspect of the game. It just seems like no matter the situation or the defense he is facing, he is always prepared and knows what he needs to do. He is a very smart player and really uses his intelligence to his advantage. He doesn’t have the strongest arm, but his timing helps him overcome that. He will never throw a sixty-yard pass, however, he will throw the most accurate fifty-yard pass you will see."

Linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard was present for the college draft prospect workouts of the Texas Longhorns. 

The Longhorns feature running backs Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson. Unfortunately, Robinson did not participate in any workouts.

Other prospects of interest were Longhorns defensive tackles Moro Ojomo and Keondre Coburn along with linebacker DeMarvion Overshown. 

On March 14, the Lions met with Northwestern DT Adetomiwa Adeboware at the conclusion of his Pro Day workout. Adeboware also met with the Lions at the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine. 

Following Kentucky's Pro Day on March 24, the Lions met with cornerback Carrington Valentine. The defensive back notched 11 passes defended in 2022 and was clocked at 4.38 in the 40-yard dash at the event.
