Now this is what I’m talking about. Spend time at LSU pro day - NOT at Southern Miss or Memphis. 

Brett Favre came out of Southern Miss. DeAngelo Williams came out of Memphis.

It's dumb to rule out a program just because it isn't a traditional powerhouse. High level NFL talent comes from a lot of different sources and believe it or not, schools actually look at the calendars when scheduling their pro days. They're not all on the same day and NFL teams have more than one talent evaluator.

Well I hope they were not looking at Key

 

From GBNreport

 

LSU ER Key posts slow pro day 40 time … Enigmatic LSU edge rusher Arden Key had hoped to run in the 4.6-4.7 range at today’s pro day in Baton Rouge to re-energize his possibly flagging draft status. Instead, Key was only able to run in the 4.85-4.90 range which would have been one of the slowest times of any ER at the combine. Worse for Key, he was running at just 238 pounds and needed to be much quicker at that weight. For the record, Key indicated that he hopes to get back up to the 250-area by the time pro camps open in the fall. It’s hard to tell what that time will do to Key’s overall draft grade, but it sure isn’t going to help. Once a possible top 5 prospect for the upcoming draft, Key has seen his grade slip after he left the team for undisclosed reasons last winter and then struggled through an injury plagued 2017 campaign. Indeed, prior to his pro day, Key appeared to be being considered more as a mid-second round type prospect, but there are whispers around the league that no one should be surprised if he isn’t taken until later in the second day.

Anthony Miller might be the second best WR in this class. Don’t be so short-sighted. 

For the record, I really like Chark, too.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
