BAN Pro days.....we learned our Zach lesson. Throwing in shorts is NOT THE NFL

This is good for having more one on one time with the player. Much more important than the play in shorts. Zach was a high 1st round pick well before the pro day. This has been a false narrative for a while. Below is Daniel Jeremiah’s first mock draft from January 2021.

What’s the false narrative? Because Daniel Jeremiah says you have to draft a guy you do? There been numerous articles about the Zach pro day and how it solidified his 2 pick

The false narrative is that his pro day somehow skyrocketed him to the top of the draft which is simply untrue. Many many people had him at pick 2 well before the pro day.

The Pro day solidified it, true. but his play at BYU really wowed a lot of people. He was viewed as a #2 pick by many way before his pro day. Everybody saw his amazing play in college and then saw a throw that most people couldn't make even in shorts and that was kind of it. If this Zach Wilson guy could throw with that amount of accuracy in the NFL, that was something nobody could pass up. Unfortunately it never came through.

April 17: Clubs with returning head coaches may begin offseason workout programs.

In a little over 3 weeks, AR has the opportunity to report to Packers camp to make $50k. If the trade isn’t completed by then I can see him showing up to screw with management. They'd probably tell him to stay away and pay him the $

5.16 Day After Notes ?

Speaking of May, next week is a big one as far as offseason programs—with the start of actual football practice. Officially, it’s the beginning of Phase III for most teams, which is when 11-on-11, 9-on-7 and 7-on-7 drills are allowable for the first time.

And while that stuff is still voluntary, this is the point in the calendar where veterans being absent becomes a bit more significant.

Without pro days he still would have been the 2nd ranked QB coming out that year.

Pro Days are important because you see how a QB interacts with players, you get to speak with him and on the field you get to see his physical skills, arm strength, accuracy, how the ball comes out of his hand.  

Pro Days aren’t going away.
