At Mitch Trubisky's pro day at UNC on March 21, a line of scouts and coaches watched as he changed his shoes, stretched his legs and joked with his ex-teammates for more than two hours before he began throwing. An NFL quarterbacks coach, without taking his eyes off Trubisky, said, "I'm not looking so much at how he throws but how he handles the day." (ESPN.com)
