One of many under-the-radar events held prior to the NFL draft is the “local pro day” which gives NFL teams an opportunity to scout local talent by bringing in several players who are from, or attended college in the local area.

According to NJ.com, the following players are due to attend:

DT Connor Wujciak (6-3, 300): Boston College; West Caldwell; Seton Hall Prep

TE Doug Warrick (6-5, 250): Elon; Hamilton; Cheshire (Conn.) Academy

OL Jake Schunke (6-5, 311): Towson; Wayne; Wayne Hills High

WR Brian Dowling (5-10, 190): Towson; Wayne; Wayne Hills High

LB Kassan Messiah (6-4, 240): Massachusetts; Orange; Orange High

RB Savon Huggins (5-11, 203): Northern Iowa (transferred from Rutgers); Jackson; St. Peter’s Prep

RB Terry Williams (5-10, 200): Kutztown; West Orange; Cosby High (Midlothian, Va.)

DL Jake Ceresna (6-5, 295): Cortland; New Fairfield, Conn.; New Fairfield High

DB Junior Lee (6-0, 209): Connecticut; Brooklyn, N.Y.; Boys and Girls High

DE Mike Kozlakowski (6-3, 250): Maine; Lynbrook, N.Y.; Lynbrook High

LB Randy Samuels (6-0, 220): Maine; Bronx, N.Y.; Mount Saint Michael Academy

WR Kevin Francis (6-5, 207): North Carolina A&T; Brooklyn, N.Y.; James Madison High

DB Jordan Lucas (6-0, 199): Penn State; New Rochelle, N.Y.; New Rochelle High

C Angelo Mangiro (6-3, 321): Penn State; Roxbury; Roxbury High

One name that may look familiar to those who frequent JetNation.com is Towson wide receiver Brian Dowling, cousin of Brandon Dowling, the former host of JetNation radio’s podcast.

As with many local pro day prospects, the 5′ 10” 190 lb Dowling is a long-shot, but he does have experience in an area of need for Gang Green as he has served not only as a wide receiver, but as a kick returner during his time at Towson.
