03/26/20 - RB Deshawn McClease, Jr/2020, Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech running back Deshawn McClease isn't going to let a canceled pro day get in the way of his NFL aspirations. McClease spent the two months leading up to Tech's pro day working out at Bommarito, a 20,000 square foot athletic complex in the Miami area that counts dozens of current and former professional players as clients. He wrapped up the training session a week before the coronavirus virus outbreak shut down much of the country. The NFL quickly put restrictions in place that prevent teams from sending personnel on the road, effectively canceling any pro days scheduled after March 13. Pro days are the best chance for players that weren't invited to the NFL combine to get in front of a large group of scouts.

"I'm not bummed out about it, there's still an opportunity to make it," McClease said in a phone interview with The Roanoke Times. "My main focus is trying to control what I can control." McClease ran for 1,833 yards with 12 touchdowns and caught 28 passes for 231 yards for Tech. He had his best season in 2019, with 177 carries for 843 yards as the team's primary running back with three 100-yard games. "I can catch the ball out of the backfield, I can run between the tackles, I can run outside, you can line me up in the slot and kick returns," McClease said. "I've been working on punt returns. I can pretty much do anything they ask me to do and I'm going to come to work every single day with a chip on their shoulder and get better." - Roanoke Times
