FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas will have 16 former football student-athletes participate in its annual football Pro Day on Wednesday, March 4 at noon in the Fred W. Smith Football Center. The on-field workout portion will be held in the Walker Pavilion beginning at 12:45 p.m.

The former players will be measured in a variety of typical football drills, including shuttle runs, vertical jumps, broad jumps, cone drills and the 40-yard dash. Participants will also have their height, weight, reach, hand size and wingspan measured for numerous NFL scouts.
