Texas Tech football hosted its pro day in front of NFL scouts Friday, and 13 Red Raiders from the 2013 team — along with six players that left the program in the last couple of years — did their best to impress.
Jace Amaro, the unanimous All-American and projected first-round draft pick, improved on both his 40-yard-dash time (4.68 seconds, up from 4.74) and vertical leap (33.5 seconds, up from 30 inches) from the NFL combine.
“I wanted to show (the combine) wasn’t a fluke or anything like that,” said Amaro, according to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. “I still feel just as strong and just as fast as I was back then. I wanted to show I could do it again.”
Amaro said a 49ers scout told the All-American he resembles tight end Vernon Davis, one of the NFL’s best receiving tight ends.
“He was just telling me how I resemble Davis a lot and what he did and what he does still,” Amaro told reporters, “so he’s excited to see if I end up falling to the 49ers.”
