Bowers has mediocre pro day

[teeray]

I can't link up so if someone wants to find a story and link it feel free. Apparently two scouts clocked him around 5.00 on his forty and was stiff in several drills.

Not sure how serious we were about him going into today but he didn't help himself amd didn't quash any rumors about his knee being healthy.

even with a healthy knee there is no way I ever saw him going #1 to Carolina

He reportedly looked good in defensive line drills and the three cone drill.

Bowers' much-discussed knee appeared to be fine throughout the workout, according to people at the event. For a 6'3", 276-pound defensive end that may or may not fit in a 3-4, however, the 40 times - and a reported degree of rust to his game - could cause him to start sliding (slightly) down draft boards.

He'll still be a high pick, but the knee isn't helping him any.

A mediocre Pro Day (OMFG).

What does it all mean?

I think where they said he looked stiff was in linebacker drills or something like that. So not sure how important those drills are for a DE.

The first one also said he looked rusty and a little winded but that was to be expected since he has been out of football for a while.

[Carolina Husker]

Never been real impressed anyway.

Word. I was going off the twitter feed. 40 times caught me off guard. Thatough he would be better but I just don't think he is healthy yet.

It is a double edged sword. If you say you are healthy but then struggle your stock drops. If you say you aren't healthy they think you heal slowly and your stock drops. He was kinda screwed either way.

Kid is probably gonna make 40 mil over the next 6 years unless a rookie cap is put in. Don't see him living on top ramen anytime soon.

Well call him 'Rock' because his draft value just sunk.
