WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue football begins its spring season on Tuesday, but Wednesday afternoon is the chance for last season’s seniors to impress NFL scouts in hopes of taking the next step in their careers.

Eleven former Boilermakers will participate in Purdue’s Pro Day.

Purdue has had at least two players drafted in each of the last five NFL drafts, including five being selected in 2023.

Offensive lineman Marcus Mbow participated in last week’s NFL Combine as Purdue’s lone invitee.

Mbow also will perform before scouts on Wednesday along with his former teammates.

Hudson Card will try to become Purdue’s latest quarterback pipeline link to the NFL. Card was a two-year starter at Purdue after beginning his career at Texas. Running back Reggie Love III, who played at Illinois before spending his final season at Purdue, will try to follow Tyrone Tracy’s footsteps from the Boiler backfield to the NFL.
