The rave reviews continue to pour in for Penn State defensive end Jayson Oweh following Penn State’s freakish pro day. Oweh, along with linebacker Micah Parsons, blew away the scouts during Penn State’s exhibition of potential NFL players readying themselves for the 2021 NFL Draft. As the pro day circuit winds to a close for NFL hopefuls around the country, the reviews are in, and Oweh may have gotten hot at the right time.
Pro Football Focus compiled a comprehensive list of what they viewed as the winners and losers of the pro day festivities. Oweh was the first name filed under the winners category.
“Oweh’s Pro Day performance was truly an all-timer,” noted Pro Football Focus. “He had the single best 40-yard dash time (4.39) as well as broad jump (11-2) of any defensive end ever in our database. And he’s not simply explosive in a straight line; his 6.84-second three-cone is an elite number, as well. He’s raw, but he has everything you could want to work with.”
The reactions to Oweh’s performance at Penn State pro day tend to be on the same page. While Micah Parsons is viewed as a possible top 10 pick, Oweh is viewed as a tremendous athlete with plenty of opportunities to thrive at the next level even if his skills appear to be a bit raw at times. Considering he is a relatively late bloomer at a competitive position, that makes sense.
At some point, scouts and general managers in the NFL will have to decide just where Oweh ranks on their respective big boards. Updates to mock drafts are still a little unsettled on how to view the outlook for Oweh, with the Nittany Lion being viewed as a guy who could get into the first round or go as late as the third round.
But if you are a believer in draft momentum, there is no question Oweh has it riding in his favor with just weeks to go until the draft.
