Pro day results: North Carolina

Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky was the man of the hour at North Carolina's pro day on Tuesday, as all 32 NFL teams sent representatives to watch 19 players work out on the Tar Heels' outdoor FieldTurf surface. Included in the NFL contingent were general managers John Lynch (49ers), Kevin Colbert (Steelers) and Jerry Reese (Giants), along with personnel directors from four clubs.

Trubisky (6-2, 217) three 68 passes in what was described to me as a solid workout. He displayed a strong arm and decent accuracy. If you went into the workout expecting John Elway, you would have walked away disappointed. But with proper perspective, NFL teams in search of a starting QB would have been satisfied with what they saw.

North Carolina's other six combine participants were also present:

» WR Mack Hollins (6-4 1/4, 219) was not able to work out because of the quad injury he suffered at the combine. It will be at least mid-April before he can run.

» RB Elijah Hood (5-11, 230) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.64 and 4.63 seconds. I was told he looked like he hadn't worked out since the combine and was sluggish in drills. He only lifted at the combine, so teams don't have a full timing profile on him.

» WR Bug Howard (6-4 3/8, 222) only did the vertical (34 inches) and stood on the rest of his combine numbers. He caught the ball very well in his workout. He's the only player in this draft named Bug.

» RB T.J. Logan (5-9 1/4, 192) ran a 4.29-second short shuttle and a 6.59-second three-cone drill. He stood on the rest of his combine numbers.

» WR Ryan Switzer (5-8 1/8, 179) stood on all of his combine numbers. He looked very good in his workout. He's a slot receiver who will return punts at a high level in the NFL.
