Mizzou's Pro Day was buzzing with anticipation as 18 former Tigers showcased their talents at the Stephens Indoor Practice Facility. With NFL scouts on the sidelines, all eyes were on edge rusher Zion Young, a potential first-round pick who’s been turning heads.
Pro days are crucial for NFL teams, offering an up-close look at draft prospects beyond the NFL Scouting Combine. For Young, this was a chance to shine, and he did just that by clocking an unofficial 4.70 seconds in the 40-yard dash. Interestingly, Young opted out of this drill at the Combine, making his performance here even more significant.
Young carries a prospect grade of 6.40, suggesting he’s on the cusp of becoming a starter with a bit of seasoning. As the NFL Draft approaches, set to take place in Pittsburgh from April 23-25, Young and his fellow Tigers are poised to make their mark. Keep an eye on these athletes as they look to transition from college standouts to professional playmakers.
