Nebraska's seniors got a final chance to show off for NFL scouts Thursday at NU's annual Pro Day, which was, according to NFL.com, attended by 20 teams. The workouts were closed to the public and media - about ten years ago, one could stand right next NFL coaches and shoot the breeze, but no longer - and while players gave an estimate of they did, NFL.com's Gil Brandt actually posted the official results late Thursday night.

Our impression? Marlon Lucky, who was once a third or fourth-round prospect, did himself no favors by pulling a hamstring and not being able to do positional drills. Looks like his work out in California didn't much pay off.

Meanwhile, it seems like Ty Steinkuhler mihgt have worked his way into a preferred free agent slot, which some will tell you, is better than being drafted in the sixth or seventh round, because a player can actually choose where they'd like to go. Steinkuhler has a pretty good season on tape, and while injuries are a major concern with him, his workout numbers were such that He was faster and had a higher vertical jump than quarterback Joe Ganz.

As for Ganz's numbers, well, not mind-blowing, but you don't sign or draft a quarterback for any of those reasons. Ganz will have to catch on somewhere and learn to stick in the pocket as long as it will hold.
