March 2, 2017, was probably the worst day of Mark Walton’s young life.

March 2, 2018, might be the most important day of the rest of Walton’s life.

Exactly one year after Walton’s mother Kimberly Rogers died from a stroke, the University of Miami running back will try to pass a critical test.

He will go through his on-field workout, including running and skill drills, at the NFL Scouting Combine.
