PHOENIX, AZ – EXOS athletes showcased their strength, power, speed and explosiveness at the 2017 NFL combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis this year, as the 95 supported athletes produced a record 292 top performances across their position groups.
Two EXOS-supported athletes put in overall leading performances. Kevin King, CB, Washington, led all athletes in the 3-cone drill (6.56s) and 20-yard shuttle (3.89s), while Isaac Asiata, G, Utah, tied for the top overall spot in the bench press with 35 reps. EXOS athletes also posted top overall performances across 26 position tests, including two position records in the broad jump by Bucky Hodges, TE, Virginia Tech (11’ 2”), and Haason Reddick, DE, Temple (11’ 1”).
“In addition to the great testing performances, our athletes performed exceptionally well in their position-specific drills and team interviews,” said Adam Farrand, vice president of pro/elite sports at EXOS. “Our total preparation concept brings former NFL players, coaches, and scouts, as well as media and Wonderlic prep specialists to ensure our athletes are prepared for every aspect of the combine. The guys put in the work over eight weeks, and the results showed.”
Along with the 95 athletes who participated at the combine, 55 other athletes who spent eight weeks training at EXOS will be putting their hard work on display at their pro days.
“EXOS is proud to have supported 95 athletes that produced 292 top performances at this year’s combine,” said Trent Wilfinger, senior vice president of elite sports at EXOS. “Our guys worked extremely hard these last few months, and it was great to see it pay off in Indianapolis.”
