Penn State Football edge rusher Jayson Oweh significantly helped his rising NFL Draft stock by turning in the kind of pro day performance that reinforced what teams across the league believe about his athleticism.

To recap, Oweh produced a 39.5-inch vertical leap, a 134-inch broad jump, and ran the 40-yard dash in an eye-popping 4.36 seconds, at 6-foot-5 and 257 pounds.

While some teams and evaluators will be scared off Oweh by the fact that he didn’t produce a sack in 2020, his pro day performance was one of the most dominant in recent memory.
