It's still early in the Pro Day circuit, but already prospects are making the most of their second chances in testing for NFL teams. Two of the draft's best at their respective positions did some at their March 6th Pro Days in Montee Ball of Wisconsin and Johnthan Banks of Mississippi State.
The Kansas City Chiefs are not the sort of team you'd typically expect to see making the first pick of the NFL draft. With six Pro Bowl players, a new starting quarterback and a new coaching staff, this is a team that appears to be aiming to win now instead of rebuilding.
