Maysonet Set for Friday's NFL Pro Day Showcase at Stony Brook

Former Riverhead High School star running back tells ESPN he is confident in his ability and work ethic.

Fresh off his NFL combine experience – the first time a Stony Brook University football player has ever been invited to take part – former star running back Miguel Maysonet is preparing for Pro Day, a chance for "sell himself as a player" to pro scouts, according to ESPN.com.

"I know I can play in the NFL and have a good career. I have confidence in my ability and my work ethic," Maysonet, a product of Riverhead High School, told ESPN's Rich Cimini.

The NFL combine itself saw Maysonet poked and prodded by six different orthopedic doctors; informally interviewed by NFL personnel representing 15 different teams; subjected to a surprise 4:30 a.m. drug test; five hours of exams including psychological and intelligence tests; and more.

The 5-foot-9, 209-pound running back rushed for more than 4,700 yards in three seasons at Stony Brook. He couldn't partake in every physical drill during the combine due to a hamstring injury – which he is hoping to make up for at Friday's Pro Day at Stony Brook.
