MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Izaiah Gathings was winded, having just nailed his final rep on the goal line fade to end his Pro Day work out on the turf of Johnny "Red" Floyd Stadium. The long morning, starting with 225-pound bench presses, vertical jumps, then moving on to broad jumps, 40-yard dashes and cone drills had finally ended with a football in his hands, as many plays had ended just months before on in that same stadium.
But that familiarity was broken up by a "pretty cool" moment at the end, as every scout in attendance came by to congratulate Gathings on a great job throughout the day.
