Pitt NFL Scouting Combine recap: Day one

The NFL Scouting Combine has officially started the on-field drills process of the event and now NFL scouts will get hands-on workouts and interviews with some of the nation’s best prospects. Every year draft stock rises and falls with the data collected in Indianapolis and Thursday defensive ends and linebackers were first up.

The Pittsburgh Panthers had three players representing on day one and no player made a bigger eye-catching performance than former star Calijah Kancey. The consensus All-American stole the show by running the 40-yard dash in a reported 4.67, breaking former Pitt standout Aaron Donald’s record for the fastest forty time for a defensive tackle.
