9 former UMaine athletes chase their dreams of playing professional football at annual Pro Day

Apr. 5—ORONO, Maine — It's all about chasing your dream.

Nine former University of Maine football players underwent a variety of tests under the direction of New England Patriots scout Brian Smith during the annual Pro Day in the Latti Fitness Center and the Mahaney Dome.

The three-hour session was videotaped and will be accessible to the other NFL teams.

The day ended prematurely for North Yarmouth native Joe Fitzpatrick, who rushed for 1,509 yards and 12 touchdowns on 312 carries during his career that ended in 2019 but pulled a hamstring Monday during the 40-yard dash.
