The Colorado Buffaloes held their Pro Day recently. Both Carson Wells and Nate Landman were ready to make an impact and tested pretty well.
Landman was invited to the NFL Combine, but Wells didn’t receive an invite, so he had to perform even better as NFL evaluators came to watch them.
It turns out that the Pittsburgh Steelers had a couple of scouts at the Pro Day watching the pair of Buffs defensive players, according to Justin Guerriero of Rivals.com.
That would be interesting, and the Steelers could benefit from either defensive player later in the draft class, depending on how everything plays out.
For my PGH people: While Mike Tomlin & Kevin Colbert have taken high-profile trips to UGA's and now Clemson's Pro Day, the #Steelers had 2 scouts, Mark Bruener & Kelvin Fisher, at Colorado's Pro Day Wednesday.
ILB Nate Landman and OLB/Edge Carson Wells are names to watch there.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert made the trip to watch Clemson and Georgia, specifically, but sending a pair of scouts to the Buffs Pro Day is definitely a noteworthy aspect.
Both Wells and Landman are projected to be Day Three picks, with some evaluators even having both Buffs players going undrafted. However, Wells’ performed well during the Pro Day, and Landman’s resume speaks for itself.
With the NFL Draft a month away, it will be worth monitoring how Landman and Wells pop up on recent mock drafts. Who knows, maybe one of them ends up with the Steelers.
