After the 40-yard dashes and shuttle runs were over, all eyes turned to the south end zone of Florida’s Indoor Practice Facility where UF defensive lineman Taven Bryan stood with Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli.
The two were chatting as a crowd of scouts, coaches and players began to surround them.
The excitement surrounding Bryan — a 6-foot-4, 291-pound defensive lineman — has ballooned in recent months following a successful 2017 season in which he recorded 40 tackles and four sacks. It showed on Wednesday at Florida’s pro day.
When it was time for Bryan to perform, Marinelli led him through a variety of different defensive drills.
