Players took the Wonderlic Test and were measured for height and weight before the physical tests, which included the vertical jump, broad jump, 225-pound bench press, 40-yard dash, shuttle run and three-cone drill.
Â
The main attraction was Garcia who has seen his NFL Draft stock rise dramatically since the Senior Bowl. Checking in at 6-foot-6 and 300 pounds, Garcia participated in only the 3-cone drill and individualized offensive line drills – he carried over his other numbers from the NFL Combine where he recorded 24 bench press reps, ran a 5.15 40-yard dash and had a 31-inch vertical jump.
