2024 NFL Draft: What We Learned from LSU's pro day

LSU's pro day featured at least three possible first-round picks: QB Jayden Daniels and WRs Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.

Although Thomas worked out at the NFL Scouting Combine, Daniels and Nabers -- who could end up in the top five when it's all said and done -- did not. That ramped up the anticipation for LSU's pro day on Wednesday, with a lot at stake.

Here are four big takeaways from the workouts, which were attended by several NFL heavyweights.

Tune in to NFL Network at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 27 for an LSU Pro Day Special and tune in to NFL+ for live coverage of North Carolina's pro day at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday, March 28. Also, don't miss coverage of Big 12 Pro Day on NFL Network at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, March 28 and Friday, March 29.

1) Jayden Daniels had a solid workout. Daniels opted not to throw at the NFL Scouting Combine, explaining to the media that he wanted NFL teams to come to him at LSU's pro day so that his teammates -- including Tigers players not invited to the combine -- could have a bigger showcase in front of NFL scouts.

Measuring in at 6-foot-3 5/8 and 210 pounds with 9 3/8-inch hands, Daniels wore a No. 3 shirt during his pro day throwing session in honor of his teammate, Greg Brooks Jr., who was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer during the 2023 season. Brooks has since had the tumor removed and is in recovery.

Daniels didn't run a 40-yard dash or do any of the other athletic testing, opting simply to throw Wednesday in Baton Rouge -- although Daniels did tell NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe afterward that he thinks he could have run faster than LSU receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., in spite of both registering times in the 4.3-second range during the pre-draft process.
