INDIANAPOLIS—Day two of the 2020 NFL Combine is underway at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Notre Dame Football player Julian Okwara participated in the bench press on Friday.
Okwara is recovering from a broken fibula but chose to take part in the bench press in what he’s calling Reps for Rare Diseases 2020.
His bench press performance is all to support uplifting athletes and his mission is to inspire those affected by rare diseases.
Okwara’s goal is to raise $2,000 based on 25 reps.
