Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

It's live on NFL network, never seen that many observers at an Oregon pro day.

Analysts are saying they were "underwhelmed" with his workout... that he missed some of the deep throws.
"The Heisman Trophy winner threw 65 passes at Oregon's pro day that was held indoors at the Ducks opulent indoor facility in Eugene along with eight other potential NFL draft picks. Mariota threw seven incompletions on a variety of throws during a workout that was generally a mixed bag because of a handful underthrows."
"Mariota did not appear to have as bad of a workout as Teddy Bridgewater did last year but it may not have been the perfect throwing session he was hoping for. How teams like Tampa Bay, Tennessee, New York and others interpret that and adjust their boards are something those front offices will have to ponder over the coming days as Mariota is further dissected in the run up to the 2015 NFL Draft."

Bridgewater's pro day was painful. Guess who was the offensive rookie of the year last year? The NFL draft is over-covered.

NFL Network is the equivalent of The View- a whole lot of people talking and saying very little of relevance.

BJ kelly tweeted dior ran a 4.29.... there is no way

apparently Dior did run pretty close to that- I hear 4.30 so the 4.29 is not that far off. If so that is insane.

Gotta admire Dior for giving it a shot. He was a very average player but gave it his all and was a pretty good team leader from what I understand.

Side note- what is BJ up to now? Did he find a new landing spot???? Someone said they thought he was trying to get into Arkansas.

Officially a 4.37.

4.37 is still pretty insane.

Btw Mcshay said Mariota looked solid overall at pro day, fwiw.

Yeah, just have a hard time thinking he would make a roster with that tape from last year's Michigan State out there. That was painful, thank god Troy Hill emerged for us that game.

Dior is NOT playing in the NFL. Period.

Dior could run a 4.2 flat; and still never play a down in the NFL. He just isn't very good in coverage.

Speed kills and that kind of speed is uncommon. A team might draft him late or invite him to camp and see how good his hands are or maybe look at him as a potential punt/kickoff returner. He also might land on a practice squad.

I'm not saying it's "going" to happen, I'm just saying you never know.

Can Mathis catch?

yea no NFL for dior but i am impressed with his 40 time. I had no idea he was that fast. Kinda makes his football skills look even worse
