STATESBORO - The Georgia Southern football program hosted its annual NFL Pro Day Thursday at Paulson Stadium, giving 14 former Eagles a chance to perform in front of professional scouts from two different leagues.

The star of the day was Matt Breida, who put up numbers that would have put him among the elite running back performers at the NFL Combine. The Brookville, Florida, native weighed in at 195 pounds, ran a 4.38 (hand-timed) 40-yard dash, bench pressed 225 pounds 23 times and put up a 42-inch vertical jump along with a 134-inch broad jump.
