The NFL isn’t having the Combine like they do in normal years, but college players hoping to have a long, robust NFL career still have the chance to show their athleticism at college pro days leading up to the draft.
Penn State’s Micah Parsons and Jayson Oweh did more than just show off their athleticism at their pro day workout. They performed like true freak athletes who likely won’t wait long to hear their names called on draft day thanks to said performances.
Parsons and Oweh played linebacker and defensive end in Penn State’s front seven, but both have the athleticism seen at positions played by much smaller men.
Parsons, for instance, measured in at 246 pounds before the start of his workout … he ran a 4.39 40-yard dash at that weight.
Just obscene.

Oweh came in at 257 pounds and he ran even faster, hitting a time of 4.36.
At 257 pounds!

These two still have questions to answer during the draft process. Parsons opted out of the 2020 season to get ready for the draft while Oweh didn’t register a single sack last season. Not one.
NFL teams will need to figure out how to fit them on their defenses, but one thing can’t be questioned: these are two rare, rare athletes that NFL coaches will covet on draft day.
