BOONE, N.C. — With a lengthy, regimented throwing circuit complete, Zac Thomas took a deep breath and flashed a big smile before exchanging fist bumps with the receivers who had caught his passes.
Years of hard work and months of drill-specific preparation led up to Thursday's Pro Day for Thomas, Shemar Jean-Charles, Ryan Neuzil and Noah Hannon. That can be an intense and stressful scenario, but the four App State football alums fared well while working out in front of personnel from 18 NFL teams.
"It was a dream come true just to have this opportunity to perform at a pro day," Jean-Charles said.
