Wednesday will be Pro Day at Penn State. Approximately 20 former Nittany Lions will strut their stuff for NFL scouts.
The day will be tightly structured, starting with the players sitting for the Wonderlic Test at 8:30 AM. The NFL uses this test to gauge relative intelligence of player prospects.
Following the Wonderlic, players will be weighed and measured, and then will proceed to the bench press, where they demonstrate strength by pressing 225 lbs as many times as they can.
At 10:30, they will be divided up by position and will warm-up for the field drills, which are the same ones conducted at the NFL Scouting Combine.
After the drills, players will be given the opportunity to perform position specific workouts for the scouts.
As of Monday, Scout.com reported that the following players would be participating in Pro Day activities:
- Jeremy Boone, P
