CU Pro Day Thread

TClem with a monster day. His size and speed are going to have many teams invite him for workouts. I see him going by round 4.

Anyone who mentions Tyler Hansen and the NFL in the same sentence is delusional.

Only Miller and Clemons have a reasonable shot at being drafted. Both of them have the measurables that NFL scouts seem to love. I think Miller is a 4th or 5th round pick. Clemons is intriguing. The numbers he is putting will get some notice...he also made some really nice catches during the season. I can see him anywhere from round 4 to 7.

If we could have had 2011 2nd half/pro day Clemmons for all of 2010 and the first half of 2011, we might have won a few more games. The guy has really stepped up. Great to see. I don't know who lit a fire under him, but it worked. The guy will be playing on Sundays. :congrats:

The development of Clemons this year gives me great hope that this years WR group and the group coming in will be effective and help the run game a lot.

Embo, EB and Kennedy.... those 3 guys will light a fire under anyone.

Clemons hands are going to hold him back. He had stone hands until the 2nd half of his Sr. season. Physically he is similar to Floyd from Notre Dame. It really goes to show you how much catching the ball and running proper routes is worth as a WR.

Floyd is a first round pick
Clemons is a 6th or 7th.

Yet they are very similar in physical ability.

Americans place too much emphasis on physical ability. There are a TON of guys that can dunk the ball, but would never get a whiff from the NBA. This is epitomized by the fact that we even have a combine to find the best "raw" athletes. I don't know of any other sport on the planet that rates athleticism as high as the NFL.

Jerry Rice never had the measureables of someone like Randy Moss. Had Moss had the work ethic of Rice he'd be the GOAT and those stats would be so much higher than Rice's. Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Clemmons had 4 years to prove that he could run good routes, ability to go on a hot route, run block and all of the other things WRs need to do. Even with a marginal QB he still could have been a star. I'm glad it kicked in for him, but wish it would have done so sooner.

Ya know, Jerry Rice also had the greatest quarterback of all time throwing him the football. That helps a bit.

And Moss had Brady, but besides that one year they had, at the end his stats weren't great. Rice was Montana's go to guy because he trusted him. Brady's trust was in other WRs and I don't blame Brady for that.

 

[Duff Man]

Randy Moss is not the best example to use though. His worth ethic sucks, but it was precisely because of his freakish athleticism that he will end up in Canton one day.
