1. Interestingly enough, the 49ers invited players from a 45-mile radius to their local pro day today, according to this story. That's a pretty wide net and far exceeds what most teams were able to get away with. Also, based on that story, there are only three players confirmed for the workout: Cal QB Zach Maynard, West Va. Wesleyan QB Nate Montana and Stanford TE Zach Ertz, who won't actually work out, just visit.

2. Meanwhile,here's a list of the participants at Detroit's workout this morning. The story mentions that last season's workout bore the Lions' fifth-round draftee (Albion'sChris Greenwood) as well as another camp invitee. Presuming their numbers last year were as small as they are this year (just 11 players attended today), the Lions must put quite a bit of time into honing their invitation list. Do the teams with more limited lists (Ravens, Browns) take these workouts more seriously? Time will tell.

Here's the rundown of who participated:

3. Congratulations go out to NCAA Assistant Director of Agent, Gambling and Amateurism Activities Department Chance Miller, who has accepted an executive-level position at the University of South Carolina. At USC, Miller will play a major role in athletic compliance and work to build a comprehensive athlete agent program for the Gamecocks, which has been no stranger to NCAA investigations over the last 2-3 years.

We wish Miller and the USC athletic program the best as those in Columbia work to build an efficient and effective agent-player program as well as increasing education levels for young student-athletes as they consider professional sports.
