Outside of a generalized answer or two, this thread has become a pro-Teddy thread.

 

Pro Days are a last-ditched fail safe for prospects that had a bad Combine. Prospects that were invited to the Combine, pledging to work out, then finking on that, have themselves to blame when they fail on Pro Day. It's their own poor attitude toward showcasing their talent, their own bad decision to not work out when healthy, and sprinkle it all with Mighty Casey at Bat supreme over-self-confidence.

 

What's the term? Trust, but verify? 

 

I could be 100% wrong here, but Pro Days were developed actually by universities to pitch other players [players not fortunate enough to receive a Combine invite] who have given outstanding service to the school and the surrounding community. 

 

Colleges use the remaining affiliation they have with the star player hoping to lure in more pro scouts to see the "rest of the team".

 

Sure the star player will be at the Pro Day, but he's already proven himself at the Senior Bowl [except when juniors flood the draft class] and the Scouting Combine. A lot of times in the past, didn't the star player not work out at the Pro Day? He would act as an ambassador for the rest of his team mates.
