Defensive end George Karlaftis and wide receiver David Bell headlined the participants in Purdue's pro day ahead of the 2022 NFL draft.
Karlaftis has started to attract a lot of attention as a potential first-round pick, and that hype should continue to build after a standout showing Tuesday.
The 6'4'', 266-pound edge-rusher ran his 40-yard dash outside despite a wind chill below freezing, and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported a source on the scene clocked it at 4.71 seconds:
