Bill Vavua put up a team-high 32 reps in the 225-pound bench press, and LT Filiaga and Elvis Kamana-Matagi each put up 27 reps.
Aggie senior Kyler Fackrell, who is the No. 8-rated outside linebacker in the draft by nfldraftscout.com, also worked out with the defensive linemen during position drills. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound linebacker ran a 4.72 40 at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, and added a 34.5 inch vertical jump to a 121-inch broad jump with 15 reps on the bench press. He completed 16 reps at Pro Day.
Fackrell met extensively with the New York Jets, according to several post-practice reports.
