BEFORE IOWA'S 2105 TEAM HITS THE PRACTICE FIELD. Iowa held it's annual Pro Day for scouts of all NFL teams in Iowa City. Iowa's outgoing seniors worked out in from of scouts and also performed various drills, similar to the NFL Combine. In the past, these sessions have often been closed (and the actual workouts were closed to local media). Iowa did allow local media to tour facilities this year and used their social media sites to inform us of some test results. This post will be heavy with tweet embeds as the results (and some facility images) were shared via Twitter.

Last year, Iowa tweeted out results for all their participants, so expect more over the course of the week. Meanwhile, for a little more scoop, check out Marc Morehouse's recap including video from Brandon Scherff, Carl Davis, Quinton Alston and Andrew Donnal. There's also a recap from the Daily Iowan.
THERE'S PLENTY OF FACILITY PICS TOO.

MORE.
Scherff said WR Damond Powell threw up a mega-fast 40. Please don't tweet "should've used him more." I already know that. Just an FYI.

OT Andrew Donnal improved his bench reps from the combine today, going from 17 to 23 (225 pounds as many times as you can).

Iowa's Marc Weisman is a freak. Should be No. 1 fullback off the board. Huge workout today. He's Kuhn Jr. but more athletic.
