Pro day a snap for BC LB McLaughlin

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -Some of the Boston area's top college football prospects are showing NFL scouts what they can do.

A few dozen football players ran 40-yard dashes, pass patterns and footwork drills on Thursday at Harvard Stadium. Scouts timed them and checked out their technique in order to slot them in this spring's NFL draft.

Among the prospects were Boston College center Matt Tennant, linebackers Mike McLaughlin and Brian Toal, and receivers Rich Gunnell and Brandon Robinson. Also going through the paces were Holy Cross quarterback Dominic Randolph and players from several other small schools around New England.
