Boise State players show out at their Pro Day.

JL Skinner didn’t participate as he is still recovering from his surgery, but many other former Broncos did. Scott Matlock had the best showing, putting up numbers that would have ranked him among the top DL performers if he was at the NFL Combine, and definitely raised his draft stock. CB Caleb Biggers also got on draft radars with some strong numbers and Ty Jones shored up some of the drills after his Combine showing. Plus, interviews.
