Commanders set to host local pro day on April 11

Washington will host several local prospects ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.

The Washington Commanders will host their pro day for local college prospects eligible for the 2023 NFL draft on Tuesday, April 11, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post.

The local pro days aren’t for the top prospects from the area, which means Maryland cornerback Deonte Banks, a possible first-round pick, likely will not participate. Instead, it’s often for players who weren’t invited to the NFL combine or are from smaller schools.

Two names have already been revealed. Utah State wide receiver Brian Cobbs and William & Mary tight end Lachlan Pitts. Cobbs is from Alexandria, Va., while Pitts hails from Great Falls, Va.

We don’t have a full list of participants at this time, but more will be known on the day of the event.

The first round of the 2023 NFL draft begins on Thursday, April 27.
