Northwestern cornerback Greg Newsome and tackle Rashawn Slater are possible first- or second-round picks in the draft and they did not disappoint scouts, including a big group from the Bears at the Northwestern Pro Day.
The Northwestern pro day represented a short drive with a potentially large payback for the Bears.
At Tuesday's Northwestern pro day, the Bears were naturally heavily represented with Matt Nagy, Ryan Pace and also offensive line coach Juan Castillo among those making the quick drive from Halas Hall to Evanston. Of particular interest was Wildcats tackle Rashawn Slater, who rates high among the draft's prospects at a Bears need position. He is a first-rounder on NFL Draft Bible's grading system.
