Temple football players who are preparing for the 2012 NFL Draft are undergoing Pro Day workouts on Friday.

Bernard Pierce was able to improve on his 40-yard dash time from the NFL Combine. Wide receiver Rod Streater also turned in a fast 40 time today.

Running back Bernard Pierce, who surprised many with a 4.45 40 clocking at the combine, lowered his time by one-tenth today. Several watches had Pierce, not known as a fast ball-carrier, turning in times of 4.34 seconds. Sure-handed receiver Rod Streater also cracked the 4.4-second barrier, timing 4.37 in the 40. (via SI)

Blocking tight end Matt Balasavage reportedly ran a 4.78 40 while offensive guard Derek Dennis ran a 5.23.

Pierce, who rushed for 1,481 yards and 27 touchdowns last season for the Owls, could go in the 3rd or 4th round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Dennis could be a late round pick.
