Gotta feel bad for these guys...

"More than a dozen former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football players lingered in and around the weight room at McKenzie Arena on Monday morning. They were there to participate in UTC’s pro day workouts, but nobody from any of the NFL’s 32 teams attended, so the event was canceled. Strength and conditioning coach Scott Brincks said it was very unlikely that the event will be rescheduled. It was originally set for March 6, which likely would have been a more favorable date for the scouts, but was moved back 11 days to give some of the players more time to prepare. Now the players are left scrambling, hoping somehow to keep alive their hopes of being late-round draft picks or free-agent signees. The NFL draft is April 26-27. "I just want a chance to put up some numbers," cornerback Brandon Golder said."

That sucks...it's like gettting dressed up for the prom and then getting stoop up. Got a feel for these guys!

Man it really is hard not to laugh at those poor saps. Honestly something like that is better left unwritten.

[Legendary30]

That is terrible. It's one thing not to get drafted. It's another thing that they weren't even looked at by anybody. Poor guys.

[VADER72]

Maybe the Faiders will draft them. Losers.

Ok these guys are looking for scouts to throw them a bone and attend their work out day so in-turn they reschedule it. Kind of a slap in the face if you ask me.

Besides that, 11 days isn't going to make a whole lot of difference. You're not shaving off .05 seconds on your 40 in 11 days.

It most likely had to do with the Administration... not the players...

I think it means Shanny's got one (or more) of them on his radar. No way he would want to tip his had on one of the hot UTC prospects.

What are you, the frickin ice queen? How is that funny?

Some guys asking for nothing more than some people to look at them workout?

Well, I don't really know but it specifically says the "players." No reference to the administration needing more preparation.

That's like FINALLY getting that interview for the dream job and then asking to reschedule because you "need more preparation."

Life doesn't work that way and the proof is right there. It's not like one or two scouts blew them off. EVERYONE did.

I'm not so sure scouts "blew them off". Their pro day happened to be on the same day as 2 top 5 picks...

The scouts were pretty busy today. The rescheduled date was very poorly choosen...

The rescheduled date was very poorly choosen...

I guess that's my point. Had they been "prepared" they might have had a some scouts attend. It's hard to feel sorry for someone who isn't prepared.
