CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. • It wasn’t exactly a case of saving the best for last. But the last of dozens of NFL pro days held across the country this year took place Thursday at Southeast Missouri State University.
The featured attraction? None other than wide receiver Paul McRoberts, the former football and basketball star at Soldan High.
The timing wasn’t a coincidence. Just a day earlier in Memphis, the league was out in force to watch highly-touted quarterback Paxton Lynch throw at his pro day.
The folks at SEMO wanted to make it as convenient as possible for the NFL to check out McRoberts, a Post-Dispatch All-Metro selection and Super 30 recruit during the 2011-12 school year.
