CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP)—
Willis McGahee put on a final show for NFL coaches and scouts Tuesday, lifting weights, catching passes and even running a few mild sprints in hopes of making himself a first-round draft pick.
He got rave reviews.
Four days before the NFL Draft and 15 weeks removed from reconstructive knee surgery, McGahee did everything asked of him in the weight room and on the practice field.
Eight NFL teams got another look at McGahee's progress, and the former Miami Hurricanes running back got a chance to prove he will be able to play - and perform at a high level - this season.
"He passed with flying colors," Houston Texans offensive coordinator Chris Palmer said. "He did a great job. All the directors of college scouting are sitting back and saying, 'Where do you place this guy on your board?' With the workout he just had, it will be high."
