Participants displayed their abilities in the vertical jump, broad jump, bench press, 40-yard dash, 20-yard shuttle run, three-cone drill and position workouts. Among the highlights were Mitch Mathews recording a low 4.4 40-yard dash and a 38-inch vertical to go along with a 10-9 broad jump. Graham Rowley had 27 reps on the bench press while Manoa Pikula had 24. Bronson Kaufusi only participated in position drills after turning in times and measurements at the NFL Combine in February.

Following the testing, quarterback Olsen threw to receivers with one of the highlights a one-handed grab by Blackmon. The scouts also had players run through some defensive drills before some lineman work. Samson displayed his abilities at the end, showing his consistency in field goal kicking.
