Derrius Guice: Proving self as receiver

Guice spent time working with the wide receivers at LSU's annual pro day earlier this spring, Mike Gaither of WBRZ News reports.

Guice has already established himself as one of this year's top prospects in terms of pure running ability, especially after clocking a 4.49-second time in the 40-yard dash at March's NFL Combine. However, there remain questions over Guice's receiving skills due to his minimal involvement in the passing game at LSU -- where the 5-foot-10, 212-pound running back only recorded 27 receptions in his final 24 games. Participating in position drills at receiver was one way to convince NFL teams that he's more of a pass-catching back than his collegiate usage would seem to imply. Guice's former teammate Leonard Founette had similarly poor receiving production prior to becoming the No. 4 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, but Fournette went on to corral 36 passes for 302 yards and one touchdown during his rookie season.
