Six Former Mountaineers Will Participate in WVU’s Pro Day Thursday

Six former West Virginia Mountaineers will participate in the University’s pro day in front of NFL scouts, WVU announced this week. The pro day will begin Thursday morning and will include defensive lineman Darius Stills, linebacker Tony Fields II, receiver T.J. Simmons, offensive linemen Chase Behrndt and Michael Brown and long snapper Kyle Poland.

Stills and Fields both received invitations to this year’s NFL combine, but there is no in-person combine due to the pandemic. WVU coach Neal Brown, Stills, Fields, Simmons and Michael Brown will speak to the media following the event.
