Breanna Denney/Nevada Sagebrush Brock Hekking speaks with reporters during Nevada media day in the summer. Hekking played in the Medal of Honor and NFLA Collegiate Bowl the past two weeks to boost his NFL Draft stock.

The buzz for Nevada prospects in the 2015 NFL Draft has been mostly quiet thus far. However, three recently departed players — quarterback Cody Fajardo, defensive end Brock Hekking and offensive tackle Kyle Roberts — are making some noise.

All three participated in all-star games for NFL draft-eligible players last weekend in front of scouts from across the NFL. The games were the player’s last chance to impress NFL scouts before the NFL Combine in February and Nevada’s own pro day in March. Fajardo played in the East-West Shrine game, while Roberts and Hekking participated in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. Here’s how the former Wolf Pack standouts fared:

FAJARDO STRUGGLES MIGHTILY IN SHRINE GAME

Fajardo trekked all the way to St. Petersburg, Florida for the East-West Shrine game. His stat line doesn’t exactly jump off the page: 2-of-6 passing for five yards and an interception and two carries for 13 yards — certainly not the gaudy numbers Nevada fans have become accustomed to seeing from the dynamic playmaker. Fajardo’s West squad fell 19-3 to the East team. Fajardo was coached by former NFL quarterback and Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn.

While his performance won’t move him up any draft boards, it’s not all doom and gloom for Fajardo. The signal caller is the lone Wolf Pack player to receive an invite (so far) to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis on Feb. 17.

A big thing to keep in mind at these all-star games is that the game itself is only a fraction of the experience. The players practice in front of scouts for an entire week leading up to the game, giving them a golden opportunity to impress a team. All it takes is for one of the 32 NFL teams to fall in love with him.

It’s still very early, but Fajardo is slotted as a third-day NFL Draft pick at this point.

HEKKING PLAYS IN BACK-TO-BACK ALL-STAR GAMES

The Wolf Pack fan favorite kicked his NFL Draft preparation into gear last week at the Medal of Honor Bowl. Hekking dominated in the game with three tackles, two quarterback hurries, and a sack. His National team was victorious over the American team 26-14.

Hekking followed his standout performance in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in Carson, California on Saturday, Jan. 17. He was a part of the American team that was shut out 17-0 by the National squad, which featured his former teammate Roberts. Stats for either player weren’t made available.

Both Roberts and Hekking had the chance to work with Super Bowl-winning coach. Former Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren coached Hekking’s American team, while former St. Louis Rams head coach Mike Martz coached Roberts and the National team.

No word yet if Hekking drove his signature golf cart to either game.
