The Iowa Hawkeyes are nearly certain to have at least a heaping handful of players joining NFL teams in just over a month when the 2023 NFL draft rolls around.
Iowa’s Pro Day was an opportunity for other players to do their part in making that number swell as they look to get on NFL team’s radars.
Lukas Van Ness and Jack Campbell, the Hawkeyes’ two biggest names leading up to the draft, took part in the event that was attended by many NFL scouts, personnel, and teams.
In addition to those two, other Hawkeyes put on a show today to impress teams. Monte Pottebaum, Riley Moss, Kaevon Merriweather, Sam LaPorta, Seth Benson, and John Waggoner tested throughout the day.
The NFL draft is just over a month away and this is one of the final times that teams will see these players work out aside from pre-draft visits to their facilities so it places extreme importance on the results. Here are the results and reactions from the Iowa Hawkeyes’ 2023 Pro Day.

Powerful words from Jack Campbell
Jack Campbell on Iowa LB Seth Benson: He’s one of the most underrated Hawkeyes to ever put on the uniform. At times, unfortunately, people thought I was pretty decent. I think Seth was above and beyond anything I was. I view him as a leader and someone I model my game after.

Hawkeyes staying in the black and gold?
Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan are at the Iowa pro day today. Not a regular stop on the Tomlin pro day tour each year.

Where there's smoke there's usually fire
Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan are at Iowa's pro day watching Lukas Van Ness. That is a HUGE DEAL. Which means they are considering him in the 1st round. Brian Baldinger says Van Ness looks like TJ Watt on college tape.

Respect the rivarly
Funny quote from Iowa football pro day. LB Jack Campbell said he'd work the same way if he was the first pick or the last pick. A reporter said Mr. Irrelevant worked out well last year.
Campbell: "He did for sure. I ain't going to talk about him right now, not in this building."— Scott Dochterman (@ScottDochterman) March 20, 2023
