Indiana, Wed., April 1<\/p>\n<p>Who to watch: All eyes will certainly be on Heisman Trophy winner and projected No. 1 overall pick QB Fernando Mendoza who opted to wait to throw and test at Indiana&#8217;s pro day instead of the Combine. No doubt the Las Vegas Raiders will have a large contingent on hand as they currently own the No. 1 pick.<\/p>\n<p>Cornerback D&#8217;Angelo Ponds will be another player to keep an eye on in this one. The productive cornerback recorded a 43.5-inch vertical at the Combine and was smooth in on-field drills. He didn&#8217;t run the 40 in Indianapolis so teams will want to see what his long speed looks like. It will be an important measurement for the 5-foot-9, 182-pound corner.<\/p>\n<p>Also keep an eye on: WR Omar Cooper Jr., WR Elijah Sarratt, TE Riley Nowakowski, C Pat Coogan, RB Roman Hemby, LB Aidan Fisher, S Louis Moore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1.
