According to Oklahoma football beat writer John E. Hoover via his Twitter page, quarterback Sam Bradford had a great Pro Day performance.
Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford officially completed 49-of-50 passes at his Monday Pro Day. He completed another 13-of-13 from a stationary stance.
“That’s the best I’ve seen since Troy Aikman,” observed NFL.com’s Gil Brandt. Bradford’s lone misfire came on a drop by Sooners backup wideout Adron Tennell, and the projected No. 1 overall pick showed an impressive, strong build. Pro Days are intended to make players look good, but Bradford was as sharp as can be, exhibiting a quick release, plenty of velocity, and outstanding accuracy. We noticed just one throw behind his intended target (Jermaine Gresham still caught it), and he delivered one wobbler on a 40-yard slant-go.
Considering that Tim Tebow and Dan LeFevor failed to impress at their Pro Days and Jimmy Clausen and Colt McCoy have yet to work out because of injuries, Bradford just improved his draft stock dramatically. The Rams are already interested in him and if he performs well for them in a private work out in late April, he may be heading for St. Louis.
Nothing is a lock at this time of year, but Bradford just went a long ways in making a case that he should be the No. 1 pick. I realize that Pro Day performances don’t mean as much as game film when it comes to scouting players, but if the Rams were interested before, they’re really interested now.
