This spring has been an interesting experience, but it also hasn’t stopped Morris from continuing to work at his craft.

UM Pro Day 26 former UM athletes worked out for NFL scouts Click here for a photo gallery The rain held off long enough this year to complete the UM Pro Day on the first try, and the former UM athletes left it all on the field and in the weight room for the 66 NFL and CFL scouts present at the Hecht Athletic Center and Greentree Practice Fields. Large Alumni Gathering In addition to the front office attendees from the NFL, the pro day was filled with current pros who returned to their alma mater. The list includes Jimmy Graham, Reggie Wayne, Lamar Thomas, Santana Moss, Antrel Rolle, Matt Bosher, Orlando Franklin, Richard Gordon, Cory Nelms, Graig Cooper and DeMarcus Van Dyke. Vertical Wrap-Up Lee Chambers had the highest vertical of all the UM athletes at 40.5 inches. Ben Bruneau was close behind with a 39.5 inch jump.
