CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – UNI football will host its annual pro day to give NFL scouts a chance to see the athleticism of Panthers eligible for the April draft.
Fans and media are invited to the event in the UNI-Dome set to start 2:30 p.m. March 21.
Trevor Penning, Isaiah Weston and Jared Brinkman are among Panthers expected to run through standard NFL Combine drills. Penning is among UNI’s most-decorated offensive linemen. He is speculated to be a first-round draft pick, which would make him the highest-drafted Panther.
Weston, a wide receiver, joined Penning at this year’s NFL Combine, and Brinkman was named to six national teams as an All-American defensive lineman.
The athletes will run through standard drills (40-yd dash, cone drills, jumps, bench press, etc.) and position workouts. Representatives from all 32 NFL teams will be in attendance.
The 2022 NFL draft is scheduled for April 28-30.
