Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis fired up the 1970 Buick Electra 225 drop top and took to the road to attend college Pro Day workouts. I'm not quite sure if Mr. Lewis actually owns that type of vehicle, but it is what I envision for his road trip, bellbottoms, afro and all. Yes I know, one heck of an imagination. Now back to reality.

Over the past few days, coach Lewis and his staff paid a visit to a number of college campuses to evaluate NFL prospects who will be entering this year's draft. The crew was at Indiana University in Bloomington on Wednesday no doubt to check out star players CB Tracy Porter and WR James Hardy.

Porter is the player that the Bengals are most likely interested in and could target him in the second-round.

Porter is a playmaking cornerback with excellent cover skills to go along with outstanding speed and quickness. He shows good hands for a cornerback and is a dangerous punt-returner on special teams.

He may not be the most physical corner out there but is very scrappy. He did 18 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. Porter possesses 4.3 speed in the 40-yard dash and has a 34 inch vertical jump.

Gholston not the only Buckeye to impress

It was onto Columbus for Lewis and company who attended Ohio State's Pro Day on Friday. DE Vernon Gholston reportedly stole the show at the workout, but underrated LB Larry Grant did nothing to disappoint the teams in attendance. In fact, Lewis didn't leave the workout until he talked to the linebacker.

Grant turned in a pretty good performance himself. He posted times of 6.77 seconds in the 3-cone drill and 4.22 seconds in the 20-yard shuttle, both times placing him in the top five for all linebackers at the Combine.

But after running in the low 4.7s in the 40-yard dash, Grant felt he had a little more to prove. So he came to his pro day on Friday and ran between a 4.58 and 4.63, according to most scouts.

"I was happy with my agility drills in Indianapolis, but I wanted to show that I was faster in the 40," Grant said Friday after the pro day. "I'll take the 4.58 any day. I'm pretty excited. I had a lot of fun."

After running the 40-yard dash, Grant participated in linebacker and defensive end drills with consensus top-five pick, Gholston. Reportedly, teams were very impressed with Grant's body movement and agility.

Grant's agent, Nate Haber, was very pleased with the outcome. "Larry did well at the Combine and he continued on that success here today," said Haber. "Teams got a chance to watch him up-close. I think his athleticism may have surprised some people."
