More from Texas State pro day...

Eight scouts from NFL teams descended on Bobcat Stadium to take a look at Texas State's seniors from the past football season. The Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, Oakland Raiders and New Orleans Saints all had representatives present.

Cameron Luke, Stan Zwinggi, Blake Burton, Morris Crosby, Courtney Smith, Michael Rutldege and Jamal Williams all audtioned for the scouts. They were put through the gym portion (standing long jump, bench press, vertical leap) first, followed by the field activities (40-yard dash, pro-agility drill and shuttles).

Luke measured in at 6-foot, 211 pounds, while Zwinggi was measured to be 5-foot-11, 201 pounds, 11 pounds heavier than his playing weight.

Burton topped the charts for bench press, with 25 reps of the 225 lb. weight, while Smith (23 reps) and Zwinggi (18) were close behind. Luke was able to do 17.

Zwinggi recorded one of the tallest vertical leaps, measuring in at 35.5", while Smith was 33.5" and Luke topped 32.5".

Luke, whose main knock was his speed, recorded a 4.57 for his 40-yard dash. Zwinggi, on the other hand, clocked a 4.40.

Scouts from the Texans and Raiders paid close attention to Zwinggi, while a representative from the Eagles spoke at length to Luke.
