SEATTLE — Several Washington Huskies football players attempted to make one final impression on NFL scouts on Sunday at the team's Pro Day on Monday at the Dempsey indoor facility in Seattle.
The Huskies had 17 total players work out at the pro day in front of scouts from more than a dozen NFL teams.
Those players were: wide receivers Denzel Boston and Omari Evans, running backs Jonah Coleman and Sam Adams, cornerbacks Tacario Davis and Ephesians Prysock, defensive linemen Zach Durfee, Deshawn Lynch, Logan Sagapolu, Anterio Thompson and Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei, linebacker Anthony Ward, offensive lineman Carver Willis, safety Makell Esteen, tight end Quentin Moore, quarterback Kai Horton and kicker Grady Gross.
Here's several observations from the team's Pro Day:
Washington had five players invited to the NFL Combine toward the end of February and beginning of March: Boston, Coleman, Willis, Prysock and Davis.
Those aforementioned players opted not to participate in selective workouts and drills Monday.
Several players still looking to make an impact on scouts were full participants. If the results of the workouts are anything to go off of, an impact was made.
Evans and Durfee were among the highlight performers from the event.
Evans led all players at the workout with a 41-inch vertical jump and Durfee wasn't far behind with a jump 39 inches. The former had a 40-yard dash time that was timed between 4.25 and the low-4.3's. Durfee's time was around the 4.5-range.
Thompson registered an unofficial time of 4.73, which would have ranked first among defensive tackles at the combine.
The front seven comprised most of the Pro Day participants and, generally, succeeded what they set out to do.
"Everyone's got back into town the last two-to-four days," Durfee said Monday. "Just seeing everyone — and you haven't seen anyone for so long, you know you work toward the same thing — it just brings such joy to give them a high-five and a hug. But to see everyone do well, that just warms my heart."
Davis and Prysock both put up solid numbers at the combine. Davis registered a time of 4.41 in the 40-yard dash and Prysock had a time of 4.45.
Both cornerbacks have grown familiar with NFL scouts and personnel over the last month. After their respective combine showings, both were looking to reaffirm their status as notable draft prospects.
"(6-foot-3) corners don't grow on trees," Davis said Saturday. "I feel like that's all I have to say right there. Being 6-3, able to run, it's rare you find those. ... I just see ball, go get ball.

Both cornerbacks made athletic plays in position field drills, which highlighted their ability beyond the combine numbers.
The Seattle Seahawks are coming off a Super Bowl championship but have already found out firsthand the down side of having a talented roster.
The Seahawks lost starting running back Kenneth Walker and starting cornerbacks/defensive backs Coby Bryant and Tariq Woolen this offseason.
Seattle has been rumored to be looking for a cornerback at some point in the draft to replace Woolen or Bryant.
Woolen was a 6-foot-4 corner who ran a 4.26-second 40. Neither Davis or Prysock are quite as fast as Woolen, both both are of a similar size, which has led to speculation that the Seahawks could potentially take one of the two Husky corners.
"It'd mean a lot, honestly," Prysock said. "I feel like the Husky fans and Seahawks fans (are) great. It would just be great for me, and for the fans, to keep me here in Seattle. It'd mean a lot."
The field at Dempsey was reserved for players, coaches, scouts and special guests (such as former Seattle linebacker and Super Bowl champion Bobby Wagner, who was there to support his nephew, Ward).
The track was filled with attending personnel ranging from media to recruits to friends and family of the participating players.
Despite being an annual event, pro days are the culmination of a career of work and it's encouraging for the players to be supported by teammates, coaches and family who were part of that journey.
