Sixteen NFL teams sent representatives to Utah's pro day Monday to test and time 20 players. Here's a look at three of those players that could come off the board in the first three rounds of the draft.
Koa Misi, DE/OLB
Of the three prospects on this list, Misi's stock is the hottest right now. He played defensive end in college, but we believe he fits best at outside linebacker, and he eased a lot of concerns about the switch at the Senior Bowl. The 6-foot-2¾, 244-pounder looked comfortable playing off the line and dropping into coverage. His strong 20-yard shuttle time (4.27 seconds) at the combine reinforced what scouts saw in terms of his burst and the ability to change directions quickly. At his pro day, he showed that time wasn't a fluke by running the 20-yard shuttle in the low 4.2s, which would have been a top-seven time for a linebacker at the combine.
