The Pro Day: what purpose does it really serve?

Quote:Well, for players like Teddy and Manziel, they didnt throw at the combine. They chose to only throw under their terms at the pro day.

 

Edit:  There have been quite a few qb's in the league that didnt throw at the combine, and have turned out to be pretty good.
 

And I don't think that a player's performance at the Combine or his Pro Day is all that good of an indicator on his eventual NFL career. It's been said before that the big thing about the Combine is the medical and the interview. They can figure everything else out on their own.

 

 

 

Quote:I think Pro Days are better platforms for guys who are considered fringe prospects, UDFA type. They either don't get invited to the combine or get lost in the shuffle.

 

I was watching the Clemson pro day. I don't think it has any impact on Watkins' stock. But I think it does give exposure to the smaller name guys.
 

Bingo. Those are the guys that really benefit, not the ones that every scout in the League has seen hours of tape on.


I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
