Here is this year’s local Pro Day participant roster listed below ( via The Athletic’s James Boyd ): Here are the #Colts local pro day participants, but I’ll note that this list is tentative until we see them in about an hour.

Per Boyd and ESPN’s Stephen Holder , none of the aforementioned IU prospects (or other top standout prospects present) were expected to work out on Tuesday, given their current projected draft statuses, but they did attend and participate in media availability.
