Jacob Coker is a guy that will make the most out of any situation.
He performed well for NFL scouts at Alabama’s pro day back on March 9, and return to his hometown in Mobile to put in more work as he braces himself for a professional career.
The former Alabama quarterback stole the show Monday during South Alabama’s pro day.
His accuracy and ball placement was crisp on a variety of passes, while he showed the ability to climb into the pocket and deliver long balls to receivers in open space.
Creg Stephenson, writer for al.com, was able to capture Coker’s progress and share the information via Twitter.

The 6-foot-6, 236-pound quarterback is projected a fifth-to-sixth round draft value; however, his size and knowledge within a prostyle offense will cause an NFL team to give him a chance.
Coker threw for 3,110 passing yards with 21 touchdowns to eight interceptions in Alabama’s 2015 national championship season.
