  Kennesaw State football hosted its annual Pro Day in front of 27 NFL scouts and coaches Wednesday afternoon. Bronson Rechsteiner drew the attention of nearly every scout with eye-popping numbers across the board. He showcased incredible strength with 35 reps of 225 pounds in the bench press, and displayed dazzling speed with a 4.48-second 40-yard dash. His three-cone drill time of 6.95 seconds and shuttle run of 4.22 seconds affirmed his agility, too. He and Dorian Walker posted 35.4" vertical jumps. Walker's 10'4 broad jump slightly edged Rechsteiner and Monte Jones for KSU's best. T.J. Reed tied Rechsteiner with a 4.22-second shuttle run. - Kennesaw State Football
