Workouts are getting underway at the 2020 NFL Combine in Indianapolis and we’ll keep you as up to date as we possibly can with any results or news that come from Notre Dame prospects in attendance. Wednesday saw the wide receivers attack the bench press with two former Notre Dame targets getting their reps in.
Chase Claypool, who plenty of conversations have focused on potentially changing positions to tight end, put up an outstanding 19 reps in the bench press (225 pounds). That will do little to downplay a potential position change for him as it’s a very high number for a receiver.

Chris Finke also participated in the bench press Wednesday, putting up seven reps himself.
Finke and Claypool will both go through the more advanced workouts starting Thursday, as will former Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet who chose not to participate in the bench press at the combine but could during Notre Dame’s pro day that will be held in March.
