Blount to work out March 18 at Oregon's second Pro Day

Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount will work out at the Ducks' March 18 Pro Day workout, according to a league source.

Blount didn't work out at today's campus workout.

"Oregon has two Pro Days, and this is no different than what Sam Bradford did," a source told National Football Post. "All of the NFL scouts were aware of it. This is the option that's best for him. He'll be at the second Pro Day that's scheduled."

For Blount, any type of misunderstanding isn't a good development given his history of controversy.

Retired Dallas Cowboys executive Gil Brandt wrote on NFL.com that Blount was a no-show.

Blount was suspended for 10 games for punching a Boise State player. That incident was preceded by a previous suspension for missing team meetings during the offseason.

He was subsequently reinstated by Oregon coach Chip Kelly after the infamous punch and rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown during a win over rival Oregon State that propelled the Ducks to a Rose Bowl berth.

At 6-foot-2, 240 pounds, Blount is an extremely physical downhill runner who drew high marks from several NFL scouts and executives, including Baltimore Ravens director of player personnel Eric DeCosta, during the Senior Bowl week.

He rushed for 36 yards and a touchdown during the Senior Bowl game.
