The Central Michigan Chippewas held their Pro Day workouts on March 16, in front of a crowded house in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, as several former Chips set to establish their respective pedigrees ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Several CMU standsouts worked out, including first-round tackle prospect Bernhard Raimann and mid-round offensive line prospect Luke Goedeke. Other players participating included safety Gage Kreski, wide receiver/kick-and-punt return specialist Kalil Pimpleton, wide receiver JaCorey Sullivan, EDGE Troy Hairston III and cornerback Dishon McNary.
A handful of prospects from non-Grand Valley State members of the Division II Great Lakes Intercollegiate Atheltic Conference (GLIAC) were also reportedly in attendance.
Representatives from all 32 NFL teams were in attendance at CMU’s Indoor Athletic Center to evaluate the various prospects.
Below are the numbers and relative athletic scores (when available) for several CMU prospect in this year’s player pool. Any numbers listed with an asterisk are recorded on Pro Days when applicable, while any numbers with a “u” beside them are unofficial numbers.
