AUBURN, Ala. -- Last year, Auburn defensive back Robenson Therezie put on a show at the school's Pro Day and impressed the Atlanta Falcons.

He was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent and made the team. He played in 13 games and made two starts.

Defensive back Blake Countess turned the most heads on Monday.

He ran the 4o-yard dash in 4.49 seconds and benched pressed 225 pounds 21 times.

Here's how the other Auburn player's fared. (40-yard dash times are unofficial.)
