Former UTEP football players Aaron Jones and Hayden Plinke have aspirations of being selected in next month's NFL draft.
And both are building their resumes with each day and workout. Last week, the pair were in Indianapolis at the NFL Scouting Combine and on Thursday the two were among a handful of players working out in front of eight NFL scouts at the Sun Bowl. Players ran drills, showed off their agility and ran 40-yard sprints for the scouts.
"It's been a great experience going throughout the whole process," said Jones, who ran for 1,773 yards last season and who is a Burges High School graduate.
