Offseason Update #9

  The Trojans recently had a big event for their seniors that are pursuing the NFL Draft. That event was the Trojans NFL Pro Day. The Trojans NFL Pro Day was on March 23. A pro day is a day were many NFL scouts come out to college schools and analyze all of the athletes, to decide if they want to draft them in the upcoming draft. A lot of athletes participated, but the athletes that scouts looked at the most were Su'a Cravens and Cody Kessler. Both Su'a Cravens and Cody Kessler performed greatly in front of the scouts. Su'a Craven's 40 yard dash time was 4.65, and his vertical jump was 30.5 inches. The above numbers aren't the best but are pretty good for a linebacker due to his size. Cody Kessler didn't participate in the 40 yard dash, and vertical jump because he is not a mobile quarterback, so scouts wouldn't care about his results. But, Cody Kessler did show off his amazing arm in front of the scouts by showing arm strength and touch. Hopefully, the scouts liked most of the participants, so that they can all pursue their dreams of playing in the NFL. Su'a Cravens is predicted to be drafted in the late first round, while Cody Kessler is predicted to be drafted in the seventh round. The seventh round may seem late in the draft, but quarterbacks don't usually get picked early in the draft unless they are extraordinary. Hopefully, all of the USC alumni that make it to the NFL will show their amazing skills that they progressed at USC!
