Pro Day Winding Down

Mark Sanchez is done throwing and most of the drills are over. All the linebackers are done with their drills and are now doing interviews, so it is time for me to head out. But before I go, I will name my most impressive Pro Day player. That award goes to.......Clay Matthews. Matthews continues to impress as he tries to become a mid-late 1st round draft pick. Keep following KSCR's blog throughout the semester, to get updates on radio shows, games, etc.

Fight on!

The Long Ball!

They say chicks dig the long ball. If that's the case then chicks weren't digging Mark Sanchez during his first few deep passes. After Sanchez overthrew the receivers on a few throws, he came back to throw 2 absolute beauties. He ended his throwing session with a complete pass, so that's always a good thing. Overall, it was a good, but not great performance from Sanchez. His throws had the velocity, but the accuracy wasn't up to par with what the Lions would want from their #1 pick. If I had to guess, I would say that after this performance Sanchez stays where he is projected and goes #8 to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Velocity!!!

Sanchez just did a drill where he was told where and when to drop back and then he had to choose a stationary receiver to throw the ball to. Every throw was right on the money. The receiver didn't need to move one centimeter. Now, Sanchez is showing off his arm as he hits receivers on a stop and go.

Sanchez looking good

His throws have been on the money. His velocity on his passes is outstanding. Sanchez has come out with his best stuff here today.

It's GO TIME!

Here we go! It's the main event! It's what all of you have been waiting for. Mark Sanchez has taken the field along with Patrick Turner. The two have been combining for TDs for only one year, but you have to think they will be on the same page. Sanchez has a lot to prove today. Matt Stafford and Sanchez are neck in neck for that #1 spot atop the QB board. A good performance by Sanchez today might give him the nod.

Sanchez looks very poised during warm-upsand doesn't seem to be letting any of the pressure get to him. All the scouts are on the sidelines and the field is completely clear. It's Sanchez, Turner and one other Trojan on the field. Stay tuned for how Sanchez and Turner look

LB Drill Update

Are these Linebackers or Wide Receivers? Matthews and Cushing just made some great catches during a coverage drill. They did some side stepping and then went deep to catch a pass and they both jumped extremely high to grab the ball in the air. Matthews continues to amaze me.

Other Linebacker

The other linebacker doing the drill with Rey and Clay is Brian Cushing. Cushing is looking good as well. He dropped one ball, but looks very sharp with his routes. His instincts are very quick also

Linebacker Drills

Three linebackers, including Rey Maualuga and Clay Matthews are doing drills where they do some side stepping and running and then catch the ball. From my perspective, it looks like Matthews is outshining Rey Rey. Rey has had a little bit of trouble catching the ball cleanly, but he definitely is showing why he is a first round pick. Same goes for Matthews. It is unbelievable to think that Matthews is a walk-on. Talk about making a dream come true. Walk-on to possible 1st rounder. Whoever ends up with Matthews is going to end up with a steal, because this kid has talent.
