Pro Days: Wisconsin
Wisconsin held its pro day on Wednesday with 11 players working out.
RB P.J. Hill weighed in at 218 pounds, down 4 since the combine. Hill, who was listed at as much as 244 during college, has rapidly dropped weight in an effort to become quick enough for the NFL. He's still a 6th or 7th round prospect, the effort he's put in to get into shape is definitely impressing teams.
TE Travis Beckum, who is still recovering from a broken leg, worked out and ran a fairly impressive 4.59. The athleticism he showed was encouraging and definitely helped his stock. The injury concern was threatening his chances of being drafted at all at one point, but he showed enough today to solidify his place in the 4th-7th round range.
Two of the Badgers top prospects, linebackers Jonathan Casillas and DeAndre Levy, sat out with injuries. They are expected to work out on April 2nd.

Beckum will be a steal for someone... He is a pass catching stud, at leas the equal of Coffman and guys hyped up like that.. Not sure of his blocking skills though... He could be an intriguing get for the Eagles, who should need a pass-catching TE once LJ Smith finally gets his walking papers (and Philly went with an injured Badger in CB Ikeguonu last season as well)!
