He can only benefit by going out there and showing off that arm talent in a high pressured situation. What does he have to lose by slinging it when all eyes are on him?

What does he gain? He's gonna be throwing at his pro day regardless. 

NFL teams have already seen him throw thousands of times. It's not a situation like Darnold where he's working on new mechanics and doesn't wanna throw until he's further along with them.

He already knows the range he's gonna be drafted in.

I like to see QBs who can adapt to an unfamiliar receiver running the route. At the Pro Day, he and his WR are going to rehearse every route and throw to the point they likely could do it blindfolded, and still complete 75% of the throws on time.

How does he react when a guy is slightly faster, or doesn't cut to the sideline as sharply? Those little ticks in the timing show a QB who can work with what's available, rather than catering a demo to his talents.
