Cole, Bears shine at NFL Pro Day

Missouri State football’s NFL Pro Day showcased three student athletes Wednesday at Plaster Stadium in front of 14 NFL Scouts .

All-American linebacker Dylan Cole, All-MVC center Riley Shantz and All-MVC wide receiver Zac Hoover performed typical NFL Combine workouts such as the bench press, 40-yard dash and more in hopes of raising their draft stock on the field of Plaster Stadium.

The three performances were highlighted by that of the Cole, who performed collectively better (with his unofficial times) than anyone in the 2017 Draft Class. Cole “took a little shock,” when he didn’t get invited to the NFL Combine to showcase his talent, but Wednesday he proved that he belongs.
