On Tuesday, March 9, Western Michigan University held its annual Pro Day.

The event allowed the Bronco football program’s draft eligible seniors to show off their skills to NFL scouts, general managers and player personnel directors.

Among the Broncos participating were Austin Pritchard, Brandon West, Andy Dorcely, Justin Braska, Mike Perisee, Glenis Thompson and Tim Hiller.

Boston McCornell, Jamarko Simmons and Schneider Julien, all former student-athletes, also returned to Western Michigan’s campus for the workout session.

Hiller recently performed at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he registered the best distance among quarterbacks in the broad jump with a height of 9 feet, 10 inches and sixth best in the vertical leap (32.5).  Hiller also ran the 40-yard dash in 4.94 seconds and finished with 18 reps on the 225 pound bench press.

The Brown and Gold will begin their spring practice season on March 18.
