Backup tackle Anthony Moten and end Trent Harris were not invited to the combine. They had a chance to show their skills at the Hurricanes Pro Day on Wednesday. The Miami Hurricanes defensive linemen were put through drills by New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick.
It was a great experience for the players to go through the drills with arguably the greatest Head Coach in NFL History. If was definitely not expected from the players nor planned. McIntosh discussed what it was like to work out for the five-time Super Bowl winner. McIntosh is projected as a third or fourth round pick per NFL.Com.
