Per day
The Pro Day is a day that scout the National Football League and Canadian Football League the graduating class of a specially-scale trial football team of colleges are allowed to visit. There, players who were not invited to the NFL Combine , were unable to participate due to injuries or were not satisfied with the performance they showed there, demonstrate their athleticism and skills. In addition, the scouts are also interested in how the players behave in an environment they are familiar with, as the combine is considered to be very hectic, and the scouts are of the opinion that they infer a personality from observing a player's dealings with his teammates and so be able to judge whether he could fit into your team. In contrast to the combine, there is no time limit for how long a team can talk to a player. In addition, the scouts and coaches can ask the players for individual training. Even if physical tests such as the 40-yard sprint take place on Pro Day , this part is considered to be rather insignificant, more important is personal contact, as this could be the decisive factor for or against a player.
