Miami Pro Day 2015: Recap, Reaction for Denzel Perryman, Phillip Dorsett, More

Tim DanielsApr 1, 2015

One of the most notable remaining college pro days took place on Wednesday as the Miami Hurricanes put their exiting talent on display for NFL evaluators. The school could see a handful of players selected inside the first few rounds of the 2015 NFL draft.

Miami features five prospects (Ereck Flowers, Duke Johnson, Phillip Dorsett, Denzel Perryman and Clive Walford) that should be off the board within the first three rounds. Then there's another group hopeful of getting selected in the middle or late rounds.

Hurricanes Football noted every NFL team had somebody in attendance to see the wide array of talent:

Johnson is one player who's been watched closely throughout the process. The running back lacks ideal size but is versatile and possesses high-end playmaking ability. He told Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer that he thinks the durability questions are off base.

"I think it's a joke," Johnson said. "I had a freak injury. I broke my ankle once, and that was the only time I missed a game. That was an accident that could have happened to anybody. I don't see the durability thing. Somebody will always have something to say."

James Walker of ESPN clocked him around 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash:

Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel noted New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton was in attendance, with Johnson a potential target:

Along with the athletic testing, players also checked in with their measurables.

Lindsay Rhodes of the NFL Network noted the most noteworthy result, which came from Flowers:

The offensive tackle has the size and power to succeed at the next level. Dropping a couple pounds should add to his agility and short-area quickness. Those are areas of concern for him.

Hurricanes Football showcased Perryman going to work on the bench press:

Alas, his attempt at the 40 wasn't as smooth, per Walker:

Kelly later updated the situation, stating the linebacker didn't take part in position drills:

Rhodes pointed out that Dorsett once again put his awe-inspiring athleticism on display:

Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports states speed to beat defenses over the top clearly isn't an issue:

Jones shared a Vine of Dorsett's speed and footwork in action:

Canes Football posted an Instagram video of Johnson doing the vertical jump:

After putting their athletic ability in the spotlight, the Canes' prospects moved to on-field work.

Jones provided a Vine of Flowers in action:

The program highlighted Anthony Chickillo, a defensive end looking to improve his mid-round stock before draft day:

Kelly liked what he witnessed from cornerback Ladarius Gunter:

Matt Porter of the Palm Beach Post showed Walford in action after he skipped the 40:

Victoria Hernandez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel called it a solid performance from the tight end:

Susan Miller Degnan of the Miami Herald provided comments from Perryman after the workout:

Ultimately, the Perryman injury was the only notable negative from the pro day. He doesn't sound overly concerned about the setback, so it shouldn't have a huge impact on his stock. Getting back to full strength before his first pro camp is now the focus.

Beyond that, Flowers dropping some weight as he looks to add more quickness is a positive. He should go in the first round. Johnson, who's trending toward a Round 2 selection, helped himself with another strong showing.

Dorsett may be the most interesting case of all. He really didn't show anything new on Wednesday—everybody knew about his lightning speed—but perhaps he moved closer to one team falling in love with his raw ability and grabbing him earlier than expected.

A generally good day for the Miami prospects.
