The statistics generated at the annual scouting combine can border on information overload -- and that is with all of the players attending the workout competing in the same environment.

Pro Day workouts complicate the process. They're completed under varying conditions throughout the country and can be overblown. Only in rare occasions do the results of Pro Day workouts actually impact a player's stock.
As such, we've boiled down the five storylines from this week's Pro Day workouts that every NFL Draft fan needs to know.
5. Carey crashing? As the nation's leading rusher over the past two seasons, Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey entered the 2014 combine with plenty of hype. Concerns about whether his success was partially due to head coach Rich Rodriguez's spread offense were only increased with a disappointing workout in Indianapolis, including a 4.70-second time in the 40-yard dash.
Carey was unable to significantly improve on his time at his March 6 Pro Day, registering times varying from 4.66-4.69 in the all-important event and electing not to participate in shuttle drills at all.
Graded the top back in the class by many (including me) throughout much of the 2013 season, Carey's poor workouts and questions about his decision-making off the field could push him into Day 3 of the draft.

Never liked Carey anyway. 4.7 is pathetic for a running back who barely weighs 200. All in all this running back class is awful. Charles Sims is the best back. But he is more of a 3rd down back/ slot WR type.

As a day 3 pick I would take him in a heartbeat.

Ryan Shazier is a plug and play OLB for Coyle's system. Would eliminate Wheeler from the roster for sure.
 
Carey's a good player. If he stays around 210, that's solid. I'd start considering him in the 3rd RD. If you're looking too hard at RB's 40 times, you're playing yourself.

Not looking too hard. But when a RB isn't a power runner capable of carrying the ball 20+ times for a whole season, you want to see some home run ability out of a change of pace back. Which I do not see from Carey.
 
Carey is just another overrated Rich Rod RB like Slaton and Devine
