Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford has pushed his on-campus pro day workout to March 29, NFLDraftScout.com has confirmed with the player’s agency, CAA. ESPN first reported that Bradford and his agents rescheduled his original March 25 date to avoid a conflict with the NFL owners meetings in Orlando March 21-24.

Considering the league’s labor uncertainty, Bradford’s camp didn’t want to squeeze the timeframe. It also affects other Sooners prospects, as tight end Jermaine Gresham told NFLDraftScout.com that he and several other teammates will also participate in what had previously been touted as a “personal” workout for Bradford.

Bradford and defensive tackles Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska and Oklahoma teammate Gerald McCoy are believed to be the three players St. Louis is seriously considering with the No. 1 overall pick in April. Bradford attended the scouting combine in Indianapolis, but has yet to throw in front of scouts since undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery in October. He did not take part in the Sooners’ official pro day on Tuesday, which was attended by representatives from 31 of 32 NFL teams.

Friday’s pro day notes:

• Boston College had 12 athletes represented at their pro day, which was moved to Harvard due to weather, according to NFL.com. Nineteen smaller-school athletes joined the workout held in front of representatives from 14 NFL teams. Matt Tennant, the No. 2-rated center by NFLDraftScout.com, measured in at 6-feet-4 and 3/8 and 296 pounds, but did not participate in the athletic testing after participating at the combine. He did do positional drills, as did Mike McLaughlin (6-0, 241), the No. 11-rated inside linebacker by NFLDraftScout.com.

• TCU’s pro day featured defensive end/linebacker Jerry Hughes and outside linebacker Daryl Washington, who are both rated as potential first-round picks by NFLDraftScout.com. Twenty-four teams were on hand, according to NFL.com, with Hughes measuring in at 6-2 1/4, 254 pounds and Washington at 6-2, 229. Washington did run the 40-yard dash, but the two defenders were both at the combine and limited the rest of their participation to positional drills.

• LeGarrette Blount did not attend Oregon’s pro day Thursday, but his agent said the running back was never scheduled to work out. Blount is expected to work out at Oregon’s second pro day March 18.
