Bradford’s pro day workout leaves crowd in awe

Posted: March 29th, 2010 | Gil Brandt | Tags: Oklahoma Pro Day, Sam Bradford, Troy Aikman
NORMAN, Okla. — Sam Bradford’s workout Monday in front of representatives for all 32 NFL teams at Oklahoma’s pro day almost left me speechless. And that’s saying something.
Bradford threw more than 100 passes during the workout and, in my estimation, didn’t have one that was uncatchable. He moved around well, including throwing on the run out of the pocket, and went through the entire route tree. The sripted workout included three-, five- and seven-step drops, shotgun, and play-action plays, plus sprints and rollouts to both sides.
It really was a treat to watch, and I think everyone here was in awe of Bradford’s performance. In fact, he put on the best quarterback workout by a draft prospect that I’ve seen since I watched a private workout Troy Aikman put on for us with the Cowboys in California.
If Bradford is feeling the effects of his shoulder injury or is experiencing any weakness, there were no indications of that. He threw with velocity during the entire workout.
He officially measured in at 6-foot-5 and 236 pounds.
Terry Shea, a former college and NFL coach who’s working with Bradford as a quarterback consultant, told me they’ve been together for nine weeks. The first five weeks of workouts, Bradford didn’t even throw. They only worked on footwork because Bradford hadn’t been cleared by doctors yet.
I would imagine that two weeks from now, Bradford’s arm will be even stronger than what we saw. And it was very strong Monday.

I appreciate all of this... but was arm strength really the question here? I want to know (and of course there's no way to know) what happens when he lands on it. What happens when that right shoulder gets pinned under him and a 300+ defensive tackle?

I still say let the Rams spend their $40 million and take their chances.

Plus what? Next year's first, Jerome Harrison, 2012's first, 2012's second and Mike Holmgren?

You can't get quality by just adding quantity to a deal.

I'm still wounded. Give me time to heal. I hate being the team that doesn't get to have a great quarterback, year after year after year.
