  The more the date for Boston College's Pro Day kept changing, from its original March 18 as uncertainty grew amid the coronavirus pandemic, the more offensive lineman John Phillips began to realize that it probably wasn't going to happen at all. "It was disappointing but also a little confusing, to be honest with you," Phillips said. "At first, everything seemed like it was being pushed back. At the time, we were all very optimistic that this would be a two-, three-week, maybe a month deal, and then actually some time like right now we'd be doing our own Pro Day. It was just getting postponed and postponed." With sports shut down, the NFL Draft process has been dramatically altered for players and teams.

But after grinding for 10 weeks under trainer Derek Touchette at Total Athletic Performance in Tampa, Phillips couldn't let the work go to waste. With hopes of hearing his name called this coming week, Phillips had to come up with a way to make sure he got the exposure he needed. After some brainstorming with his agent, Clifford Brady of Capital Sports Advisors, Phillips decided to put together a sort of virtual pro day. "That was something my agent thought would be smart to do, and it turns out it's what a lot of people around the country were doing," Phillips said. Phillips, a Phoenix, N.Y., native, returned to Tampa, where Touchette helped him put together film to send to teams. - Boston Globe
