  Texas was supposed to host a NFL job fair for its seniors on Wednesday. The Longhorns' annual pro timing day, which was scheduled for Wednesday, would have given players with professional aspirations a chance to work out in front of NFL scouts and representatives. But UT's pro day, along with similar senior showcases across the country, has been canceled and won't be rescheduled. Texas coach Tom Herman conceded recently that "it's really difficult to support those guys" with Austin's shelter-in-place order in effect. "The best thing we can do as coaches is pick up the phone and give as good of recommendations as we can," said Herman, who spoke with New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick on Sunday.

Longhorns safety Brandon Jones, who started 35 career games, was among those who planned on working out for scouts on Wednesday. He'll instead spend the day in Frisco, where he's been getting workouts in on the football field at Plano West High School and at a friend's home gym. He had shoulder surgery in January and was unable to work out at the NFL scouting combine in February. He still isn't doing bench presses. High-pointing jumps during positional drills also may have been a problem on Wednesday. Jones was still looking forward to running the 40-yard dash and doing other agility tests for scouts, though. "There's people that are at a worse disadvantage than I am, if you think about the guys … that didn't have the opportunity to get invited to the combine. Their pro day was going to be their combine," Jones said. "It sucks, but it's something that we can't control. You kind of just have to play your cards how they are." - Austin American Statesman
