Copeland, Bonadies and Lopano happy with pro day performance

After getting an early start to the morning — Villanova's Pro Day started at 7 a.m. and they had left campus by 5:45 — Penn football seniors Brandon Copeland, Joe Bonadies and Scott Lopano are happy with how they performed.

At least four NFL scouts were in attendance — the Saints, Seahawks, Chiefs and Eagles — according to a tweet sent by Copeland's agent Ed Wasielewski. All three are very happy with their performances and posted personal bests in multiple drills. Bonadies said they all had PRs in bench and broad jump. Lopano, who garnered particular interest punting for a Seattle scout, said they "turned some heads," and Copeland added that they "definitely impressed some people today." Copeland noted that he did the most drills out of any of the participants today since he worked out at defensive end and linebacker, and said he was proudest of his linebacker drills and broad jump. Full results are after the jump.

So what's next? Copeland has a chance to improve upon his performance today — he was a touch slower than he had hoped on his 40 and said he slipped on the turf in the 20-yard shuttle — but it's a bit of a waiting game for now. The ultimate would be to hear from teams that want to bring them in, because then they'll know for sure they have interest. Here's what they had to say last week:

Copeland: The way we'll know if we did well is probably through workouts. After this, teams will invite you to workouts. And we still might not get a lot because teams only get 30 or so. We still might not get invited to any workouts.
Lopano: Greg [Van Roten] is in the NFL and he didn't get a workout. So that's a really good sign. If they're going to draft you, they want to work you out … so that's a really good sign.

Copeland: The agent will know after, because the agent will be talking to the scouts and seeing what they thought … no scout's going to get on the phone with us at this point. So I guess we'll know the week after how we've done.

UPDATE (8:45 pm): I spoke with Copeland again, who heard from an Eagles scout today after the pro day. He's been invited to their local workout on April 2. "You can always get happy and proud of yourself but you have to realize … it's good but you've got to keep going," he said. "An invite to a camp and not performing well is an opportunity lost."

Copeland's agent was able to get all of his combine statistics, whereas Bonadies doesn't have all of his official numbers. Lopano's are a bit less relevant for his position. This isn't comprehensive, but this is what I have so far:

Copeland:

40: 4.72s
Vertical jump: 32.5"
225 bench: 30 reps
Broad jump: 122" (10'2)
