Did anyone see the testing results from the NU pro day? Did any NFL coaches or GMs show up?

I believe there were 29 teams represented. Haven't seen much in the way of results, except Hutmacher pushed up 23 reps on the bench press and a high 20's on the verticle

Apparently, he's trying to show that he's not a pure nose and that he can play anywhere on the line. I suppose that's a good thing. But his best shot to make it is playing the role of that heavyweight champion wrestler right in the middle of things. Another Harrison Phillips type. There are a lot of monster nose tackles in this particular draft, but 1/2 of them are just really, really big. Nash is an *** kicker who can work circles around those guys.

Finally found some results. Somehow these things used to be easier to access:

Gifford definitely surprised me
Nice find. Sounds like things went well for Nash. He will be a high priority undrafted free agent for somebody. There's just a big amount of nose tackles coming out this year at a position that doesn't see as many snaps as it used to. Gifford had a great day. Based on the success of his brother, I bet teams go after him pretty hard after the draft as well.
