Raman’s senior, Satyendra Nath Bose and Meghnad Saha , both of whom were Raman’s juniors, had by then made major contributions that were globally acclaimed.

This is the time of year where NFL Draft prospects are hoping to elevate their prove themselves. That’s especially true for Florida cornerback Marco Wilson , who needs a strong pro day to catch the attention of NFL scouts. On Wednesday, NFL.com released its list of players who need good showings at their respective pro days in order to elevate their draft stock. Wilson was on the list, and it’s because the Gators defensive back has had some mixed results throughout his college career. “It's not a great feeling when the most recent memory of your play involves a 15-yard penalty for throwing a shoe in a critical moment of an upset loss,” writes Lance Zierlein of NFL.com. “The fact is that Wilson had a strong true freshman season, suffered a season-ending injury early in his sophomore campaign and was somewhat underwhelming over the past two years.
