3/12: Football players take a chance at future

Eastern linebackers coach Forrest Jackson has announced the Pro Days as Eastern football players prepare for their future.
Eastern’s normal Pro Day will be at 11 a.m. today in Lantz Fieldhouse or O’Brien Stadium.
Eastern’s Pierre Walters had a chance to impress at Northwestern’s Pro Day on Thursday.
While Walters performed well, he did pull a hamstring that will delay him from competitive run until the middle of April.
Hopefully, Walters will be a lot healthier when Draft Day rolls around on April 25 and 26.
And the other football players have a chance today to impress scouts.
I don’t expect too many scouts with Purdue, Ohio State and Michigan holding Pro Days as well. But the athletes who perform tomorrow could have a shot at the NFL.
