Defensive end Adam Carriker performs position drills during Wednesday's Pro Day at the Hawks Center.

More than a dozen former Husker football players showcased their physical ability and football skills for NFL scouts on Wednesday afternoon at Nebraska's Pro Day at the Hawks Championship Center.

The event attracted more than 30 NFL scouts and team representatives to Lincoln. Eleven members of Nebraska's 2006 Big 12 North Championship team worked out for the scouts.

Among the players performing for the scouts were the five Huskers who participated in the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last month--defensive ends Adam Carriker and Jay Moore, linebacker Stewart Bradley, quarterback Zac Taylor and running back Brandon Jackson.

In addition, six other members of last year's Husker team got their first opportunity to impress NFL scouts including defensive linemen Ola Dagunduro and Barry Cryer, tight end Matt Herian, fullback Dane Todd, safety Andrew Shanle and long snapper Lane Kelly. Former Huskers Josh Sewell and Donald DeFrand also worked out at the event.

The players were tested in the 40-yard dash, shuttle run, vertical jump and bench press, while several of the players participated in position-specific drills. The National Football League will holds its draft on Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29.
