New England’s Bill Belichick, Pittsburgh’s MIke Tomlin and Tennessee’s MIke Vrabel were on hand for Alabama’s Pro Day on Wednesday at the Hank Crisp Indoor practice facility.
Wide receiver Calvin Ridley went through the wide receiver drills and running back Bo Scarbrough was impressive in the running back drills.
Here’s a tweetcap from the Pro Day:
