2026 NFL Draft Pro Day Report: Eastern Michigan Eagles
11 former Eagles participated in Pro Days with the hopes of advancing their football careers.
Eastern Michigan's season didn't go quite to plan in 2025, finishing with a 4-8 overall record, including 3-5 tally in MAC play. But the team managed to rally late, winning two of their last three games and nearly taking down rival Western in the final game of the season as a potential spoiler.
With the 2025 season in the rear view mirror, EMU held their Pro Day workouts for scouts from both the NFL and CFL on March 16th, with 11 former Eagles participating.

OT Dodji Dahoue
Elevator Pitch:
French-born native of Mali who transferred to Eastern Michigan in 2024 after two seasons of JUCO football at Santa Rosa Junior College in California. Was all-conference in 2023 and a Freshman of the Year in 2022 in first two seasons playing organized football. Played six games as a reserve in 2024 and earned starting role in 2025, playing in five games before suffering a season-ending injury. Did not work out at Pro Days, as he is still recovering. Was denied an extra year of eligibility by NCAA after the season, but could be eligible for the NFL's International Pathways Program due to his background. Exhibits intriguing frame at the pro level, but will need a lot of time to heal and develop wherever he goes.

DT Tyrell Martin
Elevator Pitch:
Up-transfer from HBCU Delaware State, who transferred to EMU in 2024. Played in all 24 games with 15 starts in 2024 and 2025, collecting 60 tackles, six TFLs and a sack. Had 30 tackles and five sacks in lone year of football at DSU. Member of DSU's track-and-field team for four seasons, where he was a four-times consecutive champion at shot put.
Undersized for the pros, but has exceptional speed and explosion rates for his position. Could stick on at the next level in the right role if given time to develop. Did not participate in bench test at Pro Day.

HB Dontae McMillan
Elevator Pitch:
Up-transfer from FCS Weber State who joined the Eagles in 2023 after three seasons with the Wildcats. Was a limited participant in '23 and '24, but beat out Michigan transfer Tavierre Dunlap for HB1 and exploded onto the scene, with 177 carries for 1,014 rushing yards and four touchdowns, as well as 33 catches for 375 yards and three receiving scores. Collected five 100+ yard games in 2025, and was also the first-ever Eagle to record 100+ rushing yards and 100+ receiving yards in the same contest, attaining the feat in his final game in the Green and White against rival Western Michigan.
Between Weber State and EMU, finished with 494 carries for 2,784 rushing yards, and 20 rushing touchdown, while also picking up 466 receiving yards and three scores on 50 receptions. Could stick at the pro level as a third-down back capable of both rushing downhill and receiving the ball out of the backfield, but seven years (2019-25) at the pro level limits upside.

OG Mickey Rewolinski
Elevator Pitch:
Reliable guard option who was part of several successful offensive efforts for EMU over five seasons. Earned starting role in 2023, directly succeeding NFL Draft pick Sidy Sow, starting in all 10 appearances during Samson Evans' historical rushing season. Started in 20 of next 21 games in the next two seasons, missing three games due to injury in 2025. Elected captain in 2025, and oversaw OL unit which was T0p 10 in the NCAA in sacks and tackles-for-loss per game while also posting seven-straight 100+ yard rushing games. Earned third-team all-MAC honors in 2025.
Boasts pro-ready size, speed and strength numbers and has tons of starting experience. Won't look out of place at the next level thanks to great lateral agility, but a five-year NCAA career could prove to be a limitation for growth at the next level.
