Everson Griffen shines at USC Pro Day

USC junior defensive end Everson Griffen turned in an impressive workout at his campus Pro Day, running the 40-yard dash in 4.59 seconds at 268 pounds, according to Scout.com.

Griffen also registered a 34-inch vertical leap and a 9-7 broad jump

Griffen posted eight sacks last season.

Mays, who ran a 4.31 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine, is a four-year starter and a three-time All-American selection. He intercepted one pass and posted 96 tackles last season.

"They know I can run fast, they know I can hit and all that stuff," Mays told the Los Angeles Times. "But being able to be a big safety and being able to move is my biggest thing. I think that's the biggest question mark."

Mays suggested that he wasn't coached to intercept passes at USC, operating in an enforcer role for the Trojans. He intercepted five career passes.

"In the NFL, you get paid to get interceptions," Mays said. "It started to pay off once I started to look for the ball. I know I can do it. I wasn't really coached just to do that at USC, but I know I can make that transition."

According to an NFL scout, Mays "held serve" and didn't alter his draft prospects positively or negatively.

And that scout made the following comment about Mays to the Times: "He's OK in space, but you don't want him in tons of space. His size almost hurts him. A little bit of a smaller man might move around a little better, even if he's not as good an athlete."

Mays is set to meet with the Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals.
