FILE - In this Dec. 7, 2019, file photo, Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins (5) catches a pass while Virginia cornerback Nick Grant (1) defends during the second half of the Atlantic Coast Conference championship NCAA college football game in Charlotte, N.C. The NFL's shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic is denying teams the opportunity to get face time with draft prospects who have been injured, have checkered pasts or are under the radar. Higgins’ 6-foot-4 frame and superb hands stand out in a deep pool of receivers. Speed is the question, and a private workout might have helped. (AP Photo/Mike McCarn, File)

FILE - In this Sept. 7, 2019, file photo, Louisiana Lafayette offensive lineman Kevin Dotson (75) plays during an NCAA college football game against Liberty, in Lafayette, La. The NFL's shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic is denying teams the opportunity to get face time with draft prospects who have been injured, have checkered pasts or are under the radar. Even though he got a long look from scouts at the East-West Shrine Game, he surely would have benefited from a pro day and team visits. (AP Photo/Tyler Kaufman, File)

FILE - In this Sept. 21, 2019, file photo, California safety Ashtyn Davis (27) tackles Mississippi quarterback Matt Corral (2) during the second half of an NCAA college football game in Oxford, Miss. The NFL's shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic is denying teams the opportunity to get face time with draft prospects who have been injured, have checkered pasts or are under the radar. Surgery for a groin injury kept Davis out of the Senior Bowl and from drills at the combine. He went through medical checks in Indianapolis and planned to flash his speed at Cal’s pro day on March 20 and in private workouts. (AP Photo/Thomas Graning, File)

FILE - In this Sept. 14, 2019, file photo, Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr., front, outruns Air Force defensive back Zane Lewis to the end zone for a touchdown in the first half of an NCAA college football game in Boulder, Colo. The NFL's shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic is denying teams the opportunity to get face time with draft prospects who have been injured, have checkered pasts or are under the radar. Shenault Jr. looked like a first-round pick after his breakout season in 2018. His health, coupled with his production falling off last year, might keep him on the board longer than he expected.
