I remember when Jamarcus Russell's hype blew up after his pro day when he threw the ball clear over them there mountains a la Uncle Rico. That turned out well.

Yea man fug a pro day. There are plenty of guys who wouldn’t be able to play in the league that can go out there and look good in shorts and a tee. 
 

Pro day should just be to confirm what you already know.

Was Russell the one that took out a loan to throw a party?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he didn't do well with Wonderlic...

The workouts are basically to get numbers on guys and see if they are capable of not shitting the bed under the lights. But the pro day's have the least value of any event. It's all scripted and in a comfortable setting for these players.

I'm not absolutely positive that was Russell but if it was someone else, I don't know who.
