Report: Jameis Winston “planning” to throw at Combine as well

In recent years, the highest profile quarterback prospects have elected to forgo taking part in throwing drills at the NFL Scouting Combine in favor of waiting for their Pro Day workouts when they can work with receivers they are much more familiar with.

However, it now appears as if both of the top quarterback talents in this year’s draft – Oregon’s Marcus Mariota and Florida State’s Jameis Winston – will throw at the Combine this week.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Winston is “planning” to throw at the Combine when quarterbacks take part in workouts on Saturday.

George Whitfield, Winston’s throwing coach, had called it a “game-time decision” as to whether Winston would throw or not. It’s possible with Mariota electing to take part, it pressured Winston to follow suit.

Either way, it’s good to see players invited to the Combine fully participating instead of standing around and watching instead.

Good to see. Hopefully, they both suck at the Combine and teams will be stupid enough to drop them down the board like they've done in the past.

Hoping for a Bridgewater style combine where both look absolutely dreadful.

I dunno that a bad combine would matter unless they were dreadful at their pro day also...

Too much tape. And Bridgewater just won ROY after stinking up the combine. You think guys forgot that?

The very definition of wishful thinking...

It's a QB driven league. If the FO in any of the top 6 teams thinks those 2 guys can be that Franchise guy, we have NO chance at either of them in that I just cannot see Snead giving up multiple first rounders for either.

I'll have to set the remote far from me because if they DO do something like that, I don't want to throw the remote without thinking...

I'd much rather get Lael Collins or Kevin White or trade down and load up on OL, CB, LB and a QB

I'm sure someone has told them that throwing can only increase their stock. Still good to see the best competing though.

Should make for a fun Saturday watching the combine. I'm glad these guys all have the guts to throw, it always has bothered me when they shy away from throwing at the combine.

 

[Athos]

I think if either makes it to 4, or even 5, I think the Rams really gotta try to trade up.

If one of them magically makes it past the Jets, I think you do anything you can to grab one.

At worst, I hope they have a bad day(s) that drop that far enough for a reasonable trade up.

Even though it wasn't the official award and it's not like he deserved to win it. At all.

Those two guys can dribble the ball down the field and they are still going top 6. After them what's left, a mini van full of Gabbert's and Ponder"s wanna be's?
