Fifteen former USC standouts took part in the Trojans’ Pro Day workouts on Wednesday. Four of the five Trojans who took part in the NFL Combine were back in action, including Drake Jackson, Keaontay Ingram, Chris Steele and Isaac Taylor-Stuart.

All 32 NFL teams were represented during the day, as well as the Saskatchewan Roughriders out of the Canadian Football League. The five USC players selected in last year’s 2021 NFL Draft represented the most Trojans taken in a draft since the 2017 draft also sent five Trojans to NFL teams. The Trojans have had more than five players selected just once since the 2011 group.

Attention will be focused back at USC in the coming weeks. Wide receiver Drake London, widely expected to be selected in the top half of the first round, will participate in his own Pro Day. London attended the NFL Combine but participated in interviews only as he continues his recovery from a fractured ankle suffered in the eighth game of the 2021 season. London will work out for NFL scouts on April 5.
