FAYETTEVILLE — Andrew Armstrong made certain to “soak up” the moment Monday after going through the Arkansas football Pro Day.
It was a morning of hoping to impress NFL scouts with his performance, but the receiver also wanted to celebrate the occasion. His immediate family was there to watch him go through drills.
Armstrong did not take it for granted. He began his career trying out at a camp to play for Texas A&M-Commerce (now known as East Texas A&M) — then a Division II program.
His ascension included transferring to Arkansas and becoming the SEC’s receiving yards champion with 1,140 as a senior in 2024.
