Jasheen Davis<\/a> heeded Dickert’s advice. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t really call it pressure,\u201d he told the gathered media. \u201cYou play football at the highest level and I just feel like this is another stepping stone in my life.\u201d He performed well on the drills designed for the position. The hopes are now that he gets calls from individual teams to go do workouts specifically for them. It was a surprise when he did not get invited to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. He said he took it as motivation for the Pro Day workouts and for any team workouts that may still come.<\/p>\nOffensive lineman Devonte Gordon spent much of the last month training in Atlanta. He said he was nervous before the day started. \u201cIt\u2019s the same feeling, I think any time you are excited about something,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you\u2019ve got to perform, you\u2019re going to be nervous if you care. And I care a lot about what was going on.\u201d He was happy to have Clawson\u2019s in-person support. \u201cI\u2019ve been here for six years. I committed seven or eight years ago. So me and Clawson are pretty much family at this point,\u201d he said with a chuckle.<\/p>\n
The Quarterback<\/h3>\n
Quarterback Hank Bachmeier also admitted to being nervous. But he has had a lot of that lately. He has been training for Pro Day in his native Southern California. But those workouts took a back seat to the birth of his son, Bronco Bachmeier, (the birth name of Hank\u2019s father). Bronco was two weeks old when his the quarterback hit training camp on the other coast.<\/p>\n
His throwing drills took another route on Wednesday. Receiver Taylor Morin, there for his own day, did not run patterns for his former quarterback after experiencing leg cramps on some sprint drills. Bachmeier was left recruiting other receivers who were there, including current Deac Trishtin Glass. \u201cWe literally got a recruiting intern,\u201d Bachmeier said of his new receiving targets for the day. \u201cHe told me last night he played DIII tight end a couple of years ago. So he did a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he thought he did well on Wednesday. But he was also philosophical about what the day meant. \u201cIt\u2019s been a cap on a great college career with the ups and downs. And I’m just excited for what\u2019s next.\u201d He talked about what it was like for Clawson to be there. \u201cHe looks like he\u2019s getting a tan,\u201d Bachmeier joked. \u201cI\u2019m incredibly grateful that he gave me this opportunity.\u201d After acknowledging the disappointment of a 4-8 record, he added, \u201cThis is a tremendous university that I am so honored to say I received a Master\u2019s from, and attended, and played football here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bachmeier has individual workouts already booked with the Chargers on Thursday of this week. He will also be at the Panthers’ local Pro Day early next month.<\/p>\n

When your team goes 4-8 in back-to-back seasons, individual prospects for being valued at the next level can be dim. But they are not extinguished. And with that in mind, Wake Forest Pro Day highlighted 13 players before a bevy of NFL scouts on Wednesday. It was an unusual Pro Day by Wake Forest standards.
