  1. Thought I saw an article somewhere that Ricky Santos, quarterback from UNH, had been invited by the BC coach to the Pro Day.

  1. Hi Ron. As of today, Ricky Santos is not scheduled to work out at BC's Pro Day. I had specifically asked about him, as I enjoyed covering some of his high school games in Bellingham and was looking forward to seeing him again.

  1. Hi Thiago. I still think the Patriots will look to sign Panthers LB Adam Seward to an offer sheet. The team just has to be careful with its cap right now. L.P. Hogan, the BC Pro Day is not open to the public. The BC folks would like to do that, but it's just not possible due to the space.

  1. Is Jamie Silva on the Pats' radar? I think he would make a perfect addition to this team.

  1. Mike,
    It was reported yesterday by Al Pike in the Foster's Daily Democrat that Ricky Santos has said he was invited to the Pro Day at BC. Coach Jags extended the invite after he coached Santos as his Offensive Coordinator at the Hula Bowl.
    Thanks,
    Any chance the Pats get another shot at Ashoumaga if the Raiders get Hall???
    Thanks

  1. Hi Jamie. I don't know if Jamie Silva is on the Patriots' radar, but I had one scout tell me that he thinks Silva is "the next Pat Tillman" in terms of his hard-nosed style. Mark Constance, I do hope Ricky Santos is present as I think he's not only a fine player, but also a teriffic young man. I'd like to see him have the opportunity to work out for scouts. It is my understand that there was a late change, and while he was invited, he won't be working out.

  1. Through the Grapevine I heard former Exeter, New Hampshire standout Defensive End Pat Nolan (Colgate) would be attending this Pro-day. Any truth behind this?

  1. Looking foward to your Pro Day reports, have fun.. the more info the better as far as I'm concerned. Also if you could clear up the Santos situation that would be cool, las I heard he was looking foward to the opportunity, so only could think it was injury or not wanting to take time from Ryan's performance.

  1. Found the answer for those interested. Santos can't work out due to NFL rule, he didnt go to a MA school and UNH is outside the allowable radius from BC. Has a workout at UNH tomorrow.

  1. Sean C., this link has a few of the results. But I do not have access to everyone's results, unfortunately.

  1. I had heard that Jason Hatchell's numbers aren't posted anywhere. I finally spoke to him and he actually put up some great numbers.... he went through pro day at UMass today though i don't have those numbers yet. from B.C. he did 31 reps on bench ran a 4.62 40 yd. and was pretty equal to anyone else in the middle linebacker list.. I enjoy seeing people with talent like that getting looked over because he went to a small school. he thought he could do 35 reps and have at least a 4.5 40 yd. so hopefully he got it today. let me know if u hear anything
