Washington's Dempsey Indoor facility was full of NFL scouts and coaches on hand to watch 20 Husky alums show their stuff in a combine-like showcase in preparation for the 2015 draft which begins on April 30th. Onlookers described it as the most well-attended UW pro day since at least 2010 when scouts were there to check on Jake Locker. Here's the Twitter recap of how the day went:
Good luck to all those participating at the UW pro day today! #GODAWGS

Taking in UW's Pro Day today. A lot of scouts. Carroll and Schneider among the Seahawks contingent.

Many UW players here to check things out. Ex-UW QB Troy Williams also here.

Packed house at UW Pro Day. Estimating 40-50 scouts; more than any other Huskies workout I've attended including for Locker, Reggie Williams

Bobby Wagner and Brock Coyle just walked in to UWs Pro Day.

Jake Heaps had planned to be here to throw to Kasen Williams. But Keith Price will instead.
— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta) April 2, 2015
Danny Shelton, Shaq Thompson nor Marcus Peters are running the 40.
— Adam Jude (@A_Jude) April 2, 2015
40's are done. Again, looks like Kikaha is the only top potential pick to go through the whole testing phase. #UWProDay

Built for life! UW Pro Day with boys @HUDDytalk @Danny_Shelton55 @hauolikikaha #GoDawgs pic.twitter.com/6ogANiO1aY

Shaq Thompson did not run a 40. So far a pretty newsless Pro Day.
— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta) April 2, 2015
Surprised no other HC's but Carroll here, but three GM's is triple the usual quota for a #UWProDay
— Chris Fetters (@Chris_Fetters) April 2, 2015
In talking to some folks around #UWProDay, sounds like senior OL Colin Tanigawa is done with football.
— Chris Fetters (@Chris_Fetters) April 2, 2015
During workouts, Danny Shelton is wearing a traditional lava lava instead of shorts. #UWProDay
— Chris Fetters (@Chris_Fetters) April 2, 2015
Danny Shelton said he weighed in at 338 pounds and Cleveland is flying him out for a workout next week. Only team he's talked to. #UWProDay
— Chris Fetters (@Chris_Fetters) April 2, 2015
He is only doing positional drills but CB Marcus Peters is absolutely killing workout. Fluid, great hands. Been the star today. #UWProDay
— Rob Rang (@RobRang) April 2, 2015
Kikaha says 99 percent of teams that have talked to him want him as a pass rusher which he says "is a good thing."
