Being two days after the end of the NFL combine, it wasn't clear if that would impact attendance at Alabama's pro day held Wednesday in Tuscaloosa.

Turns out the crowd was a lot like a typical year for the auxiliary audition in the Alabama indoor complex. Some of the usual coaches and executives made the trip south from Indianapolis by 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Alabama said 80 NFL reps were in Tuscaloosa with all 32 teams on hand.

As the former Alabama players did their workouts, we looked over the pack inside the ropes to make the list of attendees at the pro day event.

-- As usual, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was spotted having a lengthy conversation with good friend Nick Saban. That's an annual sighting.

-- Perhaps the most interesting face in the crowd belonged to Rich Rodriguez. Recently fired by Arizona, the coach was reportedly set to become the new Alabama coach in 2007 before backing out. Saban was eventually hired.

-- Rodriguez was in a group conversation at one point with Butch Jones, the fired Tennessee coach who was in Alabama gear. Saban later said he was "interested" in hiring Jones to the staff.

-- Former Arkansas coach Bret Bielema was also on the field watching. He was in Indianapolis all last week for the combine and was reportedly working with the New England Patriots.

-- Bielema had a big handshake/hug for former Alabama QB Greg McElroy, now working for the SEC Network.

-- New Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel was out there running defensive linemen and linebackers through drills with a blocking pad. The 42-year old looks like he could still play.

-- New Lions coach Matt Patricia was also there sporting his new toned-down beard. The voluminous version was among his signatures while the Patriots defensive coordinator.

-- AJ McCarron's old head coach Marvin Lewis made the rounds.

-- Mike Tomlin of the Steelers was on hand with Pittsburgh among the teams reportedly looking closely at Alabama linebacker Rashaan Evans.

-- One of Tomlin's assistants, Karl Dunbar, made the trip back to his home of the last two seasons. Dunbar as Alabama's defensive line coach for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

-- The general managers/executives who attended: Minnesota Vikings Rick Spielman, Washington president Bruce Allen, Panthers GM Marty Hurney, Steelers GM Kevin Colbert, Lions GM Bob Quinn and Titans GM Jon Robinson.
