Thirteen Virginia Football players are scheduled to participate in the program’s 2022 Pro Day on Wednesday at the Welsh Indoor Practice Facility.

This year’s Pro Day will be broadcast on ACC Network Extra with John Freeman and former Cavalier standout wide receiver Ahmad Hawkins providing commentary. The coverage will begin at 12:45 p.m. ET.

The 13 players will participate in a mix of the 40-yard dash, the vertical and broad jump, 3-cone drill, pro agility 60-yard shuttle and the bench press (225 pounds). In addition, the players will start the day by having their height, weight, hand and wing measured by NFL representatives.

After the conclusion of the testing drills, the NFL scouts in attendance will put players through offensive, defensive and specialist drills by position.
