Laval tight end Antony Auclair shows he can play hurt at his pro day
For the majority of football players, a pro day is an opportunity to show off their athleticism. On Monday, Antony Auclair used his to display his grit and toughness.
The Laval Rouge et Or tight end went through his paces before 17 NFL scouts. And the native of Notre-Dame-des-Pins, Que., did so despite suffering a pulled hamstring roughly 10 days ago.
Auclair said following Monday’s session he considered rescheduling the workout before deciding to go ahead with it.
“I wanted to show I can play through an injury and be tough,” Auclair said during a telephone interview. “All the scouts knew I was injured and I think I did a good job of showing them I could play through it and the competitor I am.”
