Florida State football pro day: NFL Draft workouts

Florida State football hosts its Pro Day Tuesday in front of scouts from all 32 NFL teams. After sending 11 players to the NFL in the 2013 draft, Florida State followed up with a National Title, and is now set to send another large group. 19 scholarship players will work out, as well as eight walk-ons and seven former players.

Tomahawk Nation will have live coverage from the event via Dustin Tackett beginning at 10 EST, and I'll coordinate the site and social. ESPN3 will also carry some live coverage beginning at that time.

Receiver Kelvin Benjamin, and defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan will be looking to follow up on their combine performances and cement themselves as first-round draft choices.

Defensive backs Terrence Brooks and Lamarcus Joyner will be trying to show that they deserve to go in the top-60 or so draft picks. Brooks had an excellent combine, while Joyner's was so-so, though the latter did post an impressive arm length number relative to his short stature.

Linebackers Christian Jones and Telvin Smith also did well at the combine. Smith will want to convince scouts that he is truly a linebacker and not a safety, while Jones will want to post a great 10-yard split time to show his value as a pass rusher.

Running back Devonta Freeman had an excellent combine relative to expectations, showing that he was not slow. On the other hand, James Wilder Jr. had one of the worst combines of any player, posting awful times and looking generally unprepared. He'll try to have his redemption Tuesday.

Center Bryan Stork didn't work out at the combine, but did take part in interviews. He'll be working out for the first time.

Receiver Kenny Shaw will also be working out for the first time after failing to receive a combine invite. He'll need to post good speed times to be drafted, as he is not very muscled.

Other players who are not projected to be drafted by most mock drafts, but will be working out: FB Chad Abram, DB Gerald Demps, LS Phillip Doumar, OL Jacob Fehrenkrug, DL Demonte McAllister, DL Jacobbi McDaniel, TE Shane Broxsie, DE Dan Hicks, OL Jonathan Wallace.

Former players working out: LB Mister Alexander, WR Willie Haulstead, DL Moses McCray, TE Beau Reliford, DB Greg Reid, RB Debrale Smiley, OL Daniel Glauser.
