It was truly a day to separate the men from the pretenders.
In sunny but freezing conditions, approximately 20 former University of Cincinnati football players pushed their physical limits for the Bearcats’ annual NFL Pro Day workouts Wednesday morning at UC. More than 20 NFL scouts, including Bengals representatives, took notes in preparation for the April 27-29 draft.
Eric Wilson, a linebacker who led UC this past season with 129 tackles, sat in the warmth of UC’s Sheakley Athletics Center weight room for a post-workout interview with The Enquirer. Wilson (Redford, Mich.) was among 13 departing UC seniors who worked out.
