I would assume that SDSU will have their own pro day sometime within the next month or so. They have a great facility to host it not just for their own athletes but for other areas to attend and the scouts to comfortably observe from as well. Will all 32 NFL teams send somebody to SDSU's pro day? Probably not, but Pierre Strong will surely bring in some interest.
I believe Oladokun is working out for a pro career. Not sure if any others are. If you are a borderline prospect, you might as well give it all you got for 6-12 months after the season ends for a once in a lifetime opportunity before entering the real world for the rest of your life.
Got to remember that even making a practice squad is tough. Off season roster size is 90 (training camp). Regular season roster is 53. Active for a game is 48. Practice squad holds 16 guys, but pre-covid was only 10. So you've got 2,880 guys in training camp. 672 of them will get cut after camp and basically never play again (Mike Daniels, Cole Brodie, Ryan McKnight, Jake Weineke and Taryn Christion (turned into CFL Career), and a ton of others). 512 of them will get signed to a practice squad and maybe get the chance to chase the dream for another year or two (Jordan Brown) before either showing that they are unique and can move up to the active roster (Christian Rozeboom), or they are no different than the next young guy coming out of college (Casey Bender, Mitch Erickson, Dale Moss, Jake Weineke, etc.). 160 guys that are on the active roster but are inactives for a lot of games and basically still a "prove it bubble guy".. 1,536 guys that will play in games (Zach Zenner, Dallas Goedert), of which a lot of them are still easily replaceable (Bryan Witzmann, Collin Cochart, Danny Batten) .[/QUOTE]
