When it comes to the NFL draft process, pro days can often go overlooked. They don't usually draw the attention of the scouting combine, and they certainly don't carry the impact of a career's worth of game film.

What pro days can do, however, is confirm or challenge what teams think about a particular prospect. Did the player miss the combine or perform poorly? He has a chance to change the narrative a bit with a strong pro-day performance. Prospects also get the opportunity to double down on what they did at the combine.
