Iowa football WR Jacob Gill impresses at Hawkeyes' Pro Day
Former Iowa football wide receiver Jacob Gill impressed prospective NFL teams with his Pro Day performance.
Pro Day is an important day for guys looking to boost and raise their NFL draft stock. It's an opportunity for them to show what they can do in a controlled, familiar environment surrounded by teammates and coaches who are there to support them. Plenty of current NFL stars leaped up draft boards following strong performances at their Pro Day.
And it looks like that may be happening for an Iowa wide receiver. The Hawkeyes hosted their Pro Day earlier this week, where all 32 NFL teams had someone in attendance to check out a bevy of talented prospects. While a lot of the usual names caught the headlines, there was one big winner that no one's talked about as an NFL prospect all offseason: wide receiver Jacob Gill.
