Combine QBs: Newton, Mallet & Locker Throwing, Gabbert not

[pantherfan81]

Jim Corbett of USA Today reports that Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert is expected to take a pass on all throwing drills at the NFL Scouting Combine later this week.

Gabbert’s competition to be the first signal caller drafted, Cam Newton of Auburn, will be making a game-time decision.

PFT has confirmed that Nevada’s Colin Kaepernick will participate in full. Washington’s Jake Locker will join him. Christian Ponder of Florida State said in January that he doesn’t plan to throw.

Ryan Mallett of Arkansas presumably will throw, but he’s got bigger things to worry about.

Things could change but this is how it's going so far.

UPDATE: Cam will fully participate in all workouts.

NFL Network now reporting Cam Newton will "fully participate" in 2011 NFL Scouting Combine. Wants to be "transparent."

Auburn QB Cam Newton said tonight at Davey O'Brien Award ceremony that he will be a full participant at this week's combine. Good move. - Schefter Tweet

Biggest interview of your life, let's see what you've got...

"ehhh.. I'm not really feeling it today... just go ahead draft me and we'll see how my schedule looks..."

Sounds to me like some guys are worried about their draft stock falling.

Most the guys participating are guys whose stocks are already low. Why participate if your stock is already high?

Update: CAM WILL THROW He will fully participate.

Playing the quarterback position.

Gotta like the competitive spirit of Cam. Glad he is throwing. My DVR is on already for QB day.

This move might cost Gabbert a chance at being the 1st pick. He needs too show off his arm. Good move by Cam showing his willingness too improve and do what the teams want too see.

Sunday is QB's, WR's and RB's.

I prefer Cam anyway... but that being said. When having to chose between two players of somewhat equal value, and one was willing to compete and put himself out there vs a guy who choses to play it safe and sit out.......... I take the guy who chose to go out there any day of the week.
