Darnell Savage Jr. wandered around Maryland's pro day workout March 27 dressed in gray sweats and wearing a gold chain that read, "Born ready."
He watched as his former Maryland teammates toiled away in the broad jump, three-cone drill and 40-yard dash in front of a host of NFL scouts scribbling in notebooks and holding stopwatches.
Savage had already made a good impression on talent evaluators three weeks earlier at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Ind. The four-year Terp ran the third-fastest 40-yard dash time (4.36 seconds) among defensive backs and eighth across all positions.
