Pro days can serve a lot of different purposes depending on a player's situation. Whether it's somebody trying to solidify an early-round stock, a player returning from injury trying to show they are healthy or an unheralded prospect trying to get noticed, their last major college event can help the process.

It's not just physical testing. It's also a chance to meet with teams that may be interested. Robert Klemko of The MMQB captured the atmosphere at last year's Maryland pro day and got some insight from former Terrapins star and current NFL defensive lineman A.J. Francis:

"

And when coaches and scouts start asking questions, you might as well assume they already know the truth. Francis remembers being asked if he'd ever hit a women, smoked weed or driven drunk.

"They just want to see if you'll lie to their faces," Francis said.

"

Those are the type of things that can make or a break a prospect's draft stock. That's especially true for a player on one of the fringes, whether it be the edge of being a first-round pick or the edge of getting drafted at all.

For top talents, such as Bosa, Tunsil, Goff and others, pro days usually don't feature much activity unless they have something to prove after the combine. Perhaps they ran a slow 40-yard dash in Indianapolis and want to post a better time in that test. Most early first-rounders don't do the full list of events.

Ultimately, in a majority of cases, a pro day isn't going to have a massive impact, but it's a chance to make another good impression as front offices craft their final draft strategy.
