We've got numbers from Auburn's pro day

We just wrapped up Auburn's football pro day not too long ago. It was a long day. Basically like watching gym class for four hours.

Who had good days?
Jerraud Powers backed up a solid NFL Combine performance, impressing with a good 40 time and working out with a few teams' scouts individually afterward.

Tez Doolittle looked like he was in the best shape of his life. He agreed. He could be a mid-round pick in the draft if he keeps it up.

James Swinton
was a workout wonder, running a 4.39 40-yard dash and registering a 42-inch vertical leap. Merrill Johnson put up some freakish numbers, the most impressive of which was his vertical jump: 40 inches. Brad Lester benched 225 a total of 18 times. Pretty good for a running back.

Tyronne Green
and Sen'Derrick Marks were both hampered by injuries. Green hurt his quad at the combine and gutted through a few drills. Marks has been dealing with a tweaked hamstring all offseason. Both sounded like they would have liked another shot at some of the drills when fully healthy. I don't know if that's going to happen.

I took some video, which I'm not sure will look too good. I had to shoot it from pretty far away, so I don't know how detailed it will be. Anyway, I'll try to get that up here later.
I'll also have comments from all the participants we interviewed.

In the meantime, here are the unofficial times and numbers the players put up today, courtesy of Auburn sports information (N/A means the player did not participate in the drill):
