Quote:C'mon folks.  If pro days were completely irrelevant no one would go.  You think the scouts are sitting around thinking to themselves "Man I'm tired of all this hard work, i know I'll go hang out at the Teddy pro day and take a quick power nap"?

 

Pro days are just another piece of the puzzle.  If you are going to make a multi-million dollar investment, you want to make sure youve done your homework.  Last thing you want is to skip out on a kid's pro day, miss something that might have raised a red flag, and then pull the trigger on a guy without as much information as possible. 

Lets not all get defensive just because our favorite QB had a so-so performance.

 

I realize that my timing on posting this could cause confusion and I'm sorry for that. This was not intended to be directly related to Bridgewater's, or anyone else's, Pro Day. But rather, just a look at the generic Pro Day and the role that it plays.

 

I agree that as a personnel guy, I'm going to want as much exposure to a player that I can get but it seems like the event that has the least return for my investment is the Pro Day. When I consider it against the field of the Combine, visits to the team's facilities, etc I think that the Pro Day just doesn't offer as much.
