WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The eyes of the National Football League were on Purdue Football Thursday (March 9), as 10 Boilermakers participated in the team's annual Pro Day. All 32 NFL teams arrived in West Lafayette to see which Boilermakers could be a good fit for them to choose in next month's NFL Draft.
The following Boilermakers participated in the day's events: Payne Durham, Mitchell Fineran, Jalen Graham, Bryce Hampton, Chris Jefferson, Charlie Jones, Aidan O'Connell, Reese Taylor, Cory Trice and Nick Zecchino.
For five Boilermakers (Durham, Graham, Jones, O'Connell, Trice), it was their second straight week in front of scouts after participating in the NFL Combine (March 2-5). Purdue Football Pro Day gave Fineran, Hampton, Jefferson, Taylor and Zecchino the opportunity to showcase their skills for the next level. While some opted out of certain aspects, each Boilermaker went through their specific position drills to conclude the day.
Unofficial results for Pro Day can be found below. All of the Boilermakers hope to hear their name called during the 2023 NFL Draft, set for April 27-29 in Kansas City.
