I hope Chase works out. I don't think Devonta Smith ran the drills at his pro day, though he did run some routes with Mac Jones, I think.
It's not uncommon for top prospects to skip those drills because they are very unlikely to raise the stock of the player already considered the best at their position and, if they don't meet expectations, could very easily hurt their stock (if Chase runs a 4.40, people will say "well yea, that's what we expected." But if he runs a 4.5, that would legitimately hurt his stock since he profiles as a deep threat WR, especially considering his average height and weight.) He'll probably only do drills if he's confident that he'll beat the expectation. It'll be interesting to see which way he goes.
