Watch: Penn State Pro Day Testing Drills
Penn State football wrapped up the 2024 NFL Draft prep season with it’s Pro Day on March 15. All 32 NFL teams made the journey to Happy Valley for the Friday event, which featured 13 NFL hopefuls. While most of the high-profile players stook on their NFL Combine performances, some chose to do testing drills or try to improve times in the friendly confines of Holuba Hall. Check out all the testing drills from the event here or on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel.
Penn State Pro Day reaction
While Chop Robinson didn’t do any on-field testing and he only did the three-cone drill, he’s confident he did enough on and off the field to be a first round pick.
“100 percent. I’m a guy who shows up every single day and gives everything I got, and I’m consistent with everything I do. I got the best get off and the best bend and there’s nobody that can (do that). You can’t teach that and that’s very natural to me,” Robinson said after his workout was complete.
The edge rusher is now up to 255 pounds and says that most teams see him as an edge rusher or standup 3-4 outside linebacker.
His edge rushing counterpart, Adisa Isaac put together quality testing numbers during the event, including 20 bench press reps at 225 pounds, and a 4.27 shuttle drill time. Isaac thinks he’s proven that he’s a complete package.
“I’ll say the combination of everything just kind of like my character, my demeanor. And then on the field just my height, my length, the way I move, my quickness [and] my bend,” Isaac said.

“They [NFL teams] know my GPS times. I was at the Senior Bowl, and I was top-five fastest out there. So I’m a really a game speed guy. I can I really move well on the field. Not really combine testing,” King said.
Meanwhile, Caedan Wallace showed he’s athletic enough to play tackle in the NFL. He’s played left tackle and right guard this offseason during Shrine Bowl practice and the game. He feels like he’s passed all of the big tests heading into the draft.
“I mean, it was a just steady build up. I knew it was coming. I knew my main three big things were Shrine Bowl, Combine and Pro Day. So it’s kind of nice to mark off the end of draft prep.”
Teams can host prospects for private workouts over the next month. Hunter Nourzad will host a private pro day for teams after he’s cleared from a stress reaction in his tibia.
