PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Panthers to show off what they can do for NFL teams in their environment Monday. It's the Pitt Pro Day inside at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex as it has become the trend over the last decade plus to use these opportunities to improve their draft stock.
Players will participate in most of the same drills as the NFL Combine-225-pound bench, vertical jump, broad jump, 40-yard dash, pro shuttle, three-cone drill, individual position skill work and measurements. Like they would game plan for an opponent, these players have spent months preparing specifically for these events and drills.
13 will participate, here is a look at their current mock draft status from Pro Football Network.
