TWENTYMAN: 9 pro days to watch this week

9. Boston College, Mon., March 24

Who to watch: Edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku is widely considered a first-round prospect, winning the Ted Hendricks Award (nation's top defensive end) after recording 16.5 sacks and 20.5 tackles for loss this past season. Ezeiruaku showcased impressive agility, leading all edge rushers in the short shuttle (4.19 seconds) and the three-cone drill (6.94 seconds) at the Combine but opted not to run the 40-yard dash. Will he run it Monday?

Also keep an eye on: T Ozzy Trapilo, DT Cam Horsley, C Drew Kendall

8. Boise State, Wed., March 26

Who to watch: All eyes will be on the Doak Walker Award (best running back) winner, Maxwell Award (player of the year) winner and Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty as he's opted to showcase his speed and skillset at Boise State's pro day. An outstanding performance could solidify a Top 10 selection in the draft.

Also keep an eye on: Edge Ahmed Hassanein

7. LSU, Wed., March 26

Who to watch: All the talk when it comes to the tight end position leading up to the NFL Draft has centered around Penn State's Tyler Warren and Michigan's Colston Loveland. LSU's Mason Taylor is widely considered the third best tight end in the class. He's the only tight end in school history to have 100-plus receptions and 1,000-plus receiving yards and will try to solidify his status as one of the top three tight ends in the class with good testing and field work at LSU's pro day.

Also keep an eye on: T Will Campbell, Edge Bradyn Swinson, T Emery Jones Jr., Edge Sai'vion Jones, G Miles Frazier, CB Zy Alexander, G Garrett Dellinger

6. Miami, Mon., March 24

Who to watch: What will the Tennessee Titans do with the No. 1 pick? Will they select the draft's top edge rusher? Will they go quarterback? Do they trade back? A lot will depend on how they view arguably the top quarterback in the class – Miami's Cam Ward. He'll test and throw for teams for the first time at Miami's pro day and the Titans will probably have a better idea of what to do at No. 1 coming out of that workout.

Also keep an eye on: TE Elijah Arroyo, RB Damien Martinez, T Jalen Rivers, Edge Tyler Baron, WR Xavier Restrepo, K Andres Borregales, WR Jacolby George, WR Sam Brown Jr., LB Francisco Mauigoa

5. Notre Dame, Thurs., March 27

Who to watch: Teams have to love the ball skills safety Xavier Watts showed off, recording 13 interceptions and 14 passes defended the last two seasons combined. Watts skipped the testing at the Combine, opting to showcase his skills to teams at Notre Dame's Pro Day. Can Watts put himself in the conversation as the best safety in the class? A good day of testing in front of teams could go a long way to making that a reality.

Also keep an eye on: CB Benjamin Morrison, TE Mitchell Evans, DT Rylie Mills, LB Jack Kiser, QB Riley Leonard, DT Howard Cross III, WR Beaux Collins

4. Texas A&M, Thurs., March 27

Who to watch: Edge rusher Nic Scourton is getting some love in mock drafts as a late first-round prospect and will look to potentially make that a reality with a good pro day after opting not to test at the Combine. Will his athletic traits match really good film?

Also keep an eye on: Edge Shemar Stewart, DT Shemar Turner

3. Texas, Tues., March 25

Who to watch: Most players would be content standing on a 40-yard dash time of 4.39 seconds at the Combine but not Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond. He told reporters at the Combine he planned to break the Combine record of 4.21 seconds but didn't come close to that. He reportedly plans to run it again at Texas' pro day. Can he get into the low 4.3 range or potentially 4.2 range this time around?

Also keep an eye on: T Kelvin Banks Jr., WR Matthew Golden, CB Jahdae Barron, DT Alfred Collins, Edge Barryn Sorrell, S Andrew Mukuba, T Cameron Williams, QB Quinn Ewers, TE Gunnar Helm, C Jake Majors, RB Jaydon Blue, DT Vernon Broughton, G Hayden Conner

2. Ohio State, Wed., March 26

Who to watch: Wide receiver Emeka Egbuka decided to wait until Ohio State's pro day to run his 40-yard dash and test for teams. He led the Buckeyes with 81 receptions last season and also chipped in 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has the school record for receptions with 205. Now teams want to see if he has the speed to match the production.

Also keep an eye on: G Donovan Jackson, T Josh Simmons, RB TreVeyon Henderson, Edge Jack Sawyer, DT Tyleik Williams, Edge JT Tuimoloau, RB Quinshon Judkins, S Lathan Ransom, DT Ty Hamilton, LB Cody Simon, CB Denzel Burke, CB Jordan Hancock, C Seth McLaughlin, QB Will Howard

1. Penn State, Fri., March 28

Who to watch: A stress fracture showed up on X-rays in edge rusher Abdul Carter's foot at the Combine and Carter did not test or take part in drills, but he is expected to run and test at Penn State's pro day. He told SiriusXM radio at the Combine he planned to 'blow the roof off' his pro day workout with the goal of running in the 4.3 range in his 40-yard dash at nearly 250 pounds. If he does that, he could cement his status as the draft's top player and make it hard for the Titans not to draft him No. 1 overall.

Also keep an eye on: TE Tyler Warren, S Kevin Winston Jr., LB Kobe King, S Jaylen Reed
