By the time Eli Joseph finished his handiwork by logging 43 reps of 225 pounds, the NFL scouts a few feet away had one question dancing in their heads:

Who is this guy? Player personnel executives flocked to Temple’s Pro Day last Friday to take a closer look at first-round defensive line prospect Muhammad Wilkerson. They received an unexpected show from Joseph, who played in Wilkerson’s shadow for the better part of the season as the nose tackle in Temple’s revamped 3-4 scheme. The anonymity, frankly, suited the 6-2, 290-pound Joseph just fine.


Joseph took advantage of the Pro Day platform with an eye-opening bench press performance, solid 40-yard dash times (4.94 and 5.00) and vertical (28 inches).
