Former Pitt defensive tackle Jaylen Twyman was in Pittsburgh on Wednesday to take part in Pitt’s pro day along with 15 former teammates, and he made the most of the opportunity by putting on a standout performance. That could prove vital in the coming months, as the 2021 NFL combine has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and pro day showings will likely loom large in pre-draft evaluations.
The highlight of the day was Twyman’s 40 bench-press reps of 225 pounds. With that performance, he topped the mark of Pitt great Aaron Donald, who had 35 reps in the 2014 NFL combine.
