After a disappointing performance at the NFL Combine, receiver Jamison Crowder gave his draft stock a big boost during Duke’s Pro Day.Scouts from 30 teams (the Jets and Cardinals were the only no-shows) watched Wednesday as Crowder ran an unofficial 4.39 in both of his 40-yard dash attempts, a huge improvement from the 4.56 he ran last month in Indy.”I knew I was faster than what the combine numbers were, so I just kept training and I knew I had to come out here and prove it,” Crowder said.”I felt a lot better running routes, catching passes. I thought overall today was a pretty good day.”The Monroe, N.C. native displayed good hands and quickness during drills, failing to catch only a couple passes that appeared to be overthrows by quarterback Anthony Boone.The biggest knock on Crowder is his size. At 5-foot-8 1/8, he measured in as the shortest prospect at January’s Senior Bowl, but the wideout-slash-returner shined that week on the field.”He’s kind of got that Steve Smith, little-man mentality,” Boone said. “He’s got that nasty tenacity to him, and he’s a fighter. He doesn’t like to be shut down, and anybody who gets him is going to be able to put him anywhere on the field.”Of the 10 Blue Devils who worked out, most attention focused on Crowder, projected as a mid-round pick, and Laken Tomlinson, a super smart guard who could go as early as the second round.Crowder currently has two private workouts scheduled. He’ll meet with the Patriots Friday and the Bucs next Wednesday. The Panthers have also expressed interest in getting a closer look, but that date hasn’t yet been set.”That’s what my parents have been telling me all the time – once you get done with all this testing, get to the football business, that’s when your real talents come out,” Crowder said.”I’ve just got to prove myself, just prove that I can play, and prove that I belong in the league.”[feature_headline type=”center” level=”h3″ looks_like=”h3″ icon=”hand-o-down”]WATCH VIDEO FROM DUKE’S PRO DAY
