MU's pro day features new-look Penton

COLUMBIA, MO. • There were 43 scouts and coaches from 30 NFL teams on hand for Thursday’s pro day at the University of Missouri.

And the Aarion Penton they watched in Mizzou’s indoor practice facility wasn’t exactly the guy they saw two months earlier at the Senior Bowl. To be precise, there was more of him — a surprising 21 pounds more.

The All-Southeastern Conference cornerback weighed in at 177 pounds on his 5-foot-9 frame in January in Mobile, Ala. But he was a 198-pounder at Thursday’s pro day weigh-in. A chiseled 198-pounder, but 21 pounds is a lot to gain over two months during the pre-draft process.
