A half-dozen Chips worked out to take the next step on their professional journeys.

Central Michigan held their Pro Day on March 12 in front of 27 scouts from the National Football League, with six former players partaking in activities at the university’s Indoor Athletic Center’s turf bay, located kitty-corner from Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Notably, current starting quarterback Bert Emanuel Jr. was part of the workout, tossing passes to Kenny Brewer III, the lone skill position player to take part in the Pro Day.

Elevator Pitch:

Another of McElwain’s first class of recruits, Powell-Woods was a stalwart presence along the interior offensive line at CMU for five seasons, appearing in all 14 games as a true freshman and making 38 career starts in 51 total appearances.

A guard/tackle versatile prospect who could even check in at center with some teaching thanks to his cerebral and agile style of play.
