Penn State held its annual Pro Day on campus at Holuba Hall. Representatives from all 32 NFL teams, including Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, were on hand. The headliner for the Nittany Lions was potential first-round cornerback Joey Porter Jr.

In total, 13 former Nittany Lions worked out in varying degrees for NFL scouts. Wide receiver Parker Washington, whose season ended prematurely in November due to injury, did not work out for those on hand. Washington was one of seven Penn State players who attended the NFL Combine in Indianapolis last month. Porter Jr., safety Ji’Ayir Brown, defensive tackle PJ Mustipher, tight end Brenton Strange, wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley and offensive lineman Juice Scruggs also let most of their numbers from Indy do the talking.

Former Penn State players hoping to catch eyes on Friday that did not attend the combine included quarterback Sean Clifford, defensive end Nick Tarburton, safety Jonathan Sutherland and a trio of specialists in Barney Amor, Jake Pinegar and Chris Stoll

Here’s a complete look at how the players fared in testing at Penn State’s Pro Day.
