UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond's Robins Stadium will play host to Spider football Pro Day on Tuesday (Mar. 13), where NFL draft eligible, former collegiate football players will have the opportunity to perform in front of professional scouts and coaches.
Headlining the class of Spiders working out will be QB Kyle Lauletta who has been on the national stage of late, earning MVP of the Reese's Senior Bowl prior to working out with the top prospects in the country at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last weekend.
