03/31/20 - 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 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 applied restrictions that prevent teams from sending personnel on the road, effectively canceling pro days scheduled after March 13. Pro days are the best chance for players that weren't invited to the NFL combine to perform for a large group of scouts.

"I'm not bummed out about it, there's still an opportunity to make it," McClease said. "My main focus is trying to control what I can control." McClease relied on that same philosophy in Blacksburg as he dealt with injuries that sidelined him for long stretches of his college career - including the 2016 season. "Early in my career, I was given lemons," McClease said with a laugh. "I had my first two years taken away from me. I really had to fight my whole time at Tech. I had to fight some uphill battles. I felt like I definitely responded in a way not many people could say they have. There's visible and tangible evidence every single year I've gotten better and continued to get better." McClease intends to still "put on a show" for NFL scouts - he ran a 4.5 40-yard dash at Bommarito - but they won't get to see it first hand. - Richmond Times-Dispatch
