Penn State 2023 football pro day results

Updated and final numbers from Penn State football’s pro day event.

Penn State has become known to put on a wild show at its annual pro day event ahead of the NFL draft. This year saw a total of 13 players go through the pro day experience as coaches and scouts from across the NFL made the trip to Happy Valley to take notes on potential draft picks and undrafted free agent signings.

A number of players who participated in the NFL Combine looked to improve on some numbers or take it easy while resting on their combine performance. But others who were not invited to the combine knew this was the biggest workout of their football careers so far.

SO how did everyone do? Let’s take a look at the final numbers for Penn State’s draft hopefuls.

Here are five players that can improve their draft stock by performing well at the Pro Day.

Ji’Ayir Brown is ready for Penn State Pro Day

Penn State’s pro day is set for Friday, and Ji’Ayir Brown is ready to impress.

[autotag]Ji’Ayir Brown[/autotag] has some of the best film of anyone on the Penn State roster in recent years and he hopes that will help his draft stock come April. To make sure his draft stock remains high after the Penn State Pro Day that is looming for Friday.

Brown will be looking to bounce back from a somewhat disappointing NFL scouting combine from a testing side of things. His on-the-field drills however showcased his fluid mobility and his ball-tracking skills.

Before his Pro Day workout, Brown spoke to NFL Network about the draft process and how he was getting ready. “It’s been an amazing process, I am walking the dream. I am very appreciative of everything that is unfolding…”

He was asked a follow-up question about what kind of defense or team he thinks he best fits in and of course, he responded “I can play in any scheme, I am an excellent player when it comes to fitting in any scheme. I just want to be able to do the same thing I did at Penn State, blitz and provide coverage.”

With his diverse skillset, this is the right answer, his ability to provide coverage while finding success as blitzer is something not many professional players do well, let alone college players. He was asked which area he likes making plays in more and he responded while laughing saying “I love interceptions but sacks have been new to me and I love getting them just as much.”

He ended his TV spot with a simple message for NFL teams and scouts saying “I want scouts to see everything on tape is me, I can do a lot of different things on defense and I can perform at the highest levels.”

Penn State’s Pro Day will be on Friday, March 24.
