Matt Ryan shows off, kind of
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Matt Ryan showing off his passing against my Michigan State University Spartans
Matt Ryan of Boston College had his workout day and it was good.
You mean great, right?
No, good. It was ok. Nothing really went wrong.
You mean that it sucks then, right?
No, you are not listening. It went well. Keep in mind, there is only one quarterback to evaluate for the top of the heap and it is Matt Ryan. So, good is good.
“I don’t think he slips (in the draft),” Minnesota Vikings vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman said. “He finds his wide receivers down the field. If there is anything lacking in arm strength – and I think he has enough arm strength – he knows where to go with the ball.”
Spielman was one of 42 representatives from 22 teams in attendance Sunday. But the group lacked star power, with only one head coach – Kansas City’s Herm Edwards – in attendance. The Chiefs’ Carl Peterson also was the only general manager in attendance, along with Kansas City offensive coordinator Chan Gailey and quarterbacks coach Dick Curl.

It was like being introduced at the Prom and being afraid to fall down. Matt completed 48 of 52 passes.
When it was over, Ryan’s performance Tuesday seemed to dovetail relatively well with his scouting report: an adequate arm and the ability to make all the throws the NFL will demand, but with a ball that is not always perfectly clean. Many of Ryan’s passes had some wobble to them, which can be caused by gripping the football too tight at the release point and is considered correctable with coaching. At times his receivers had to wait a slight tick to let the ball catch up to them, and a few passes didn’t have perfect placement. But overall, there didn’t appear to be any glaring gaffes in the workout.
Seemed suspicious that Miami, Atlanta and Baltimore hardly had anyone there. They all need quarterbacks real bad! KC was there and along with the other four will probably invite Matt in for individual workouts.
Wow, this is getting nerve wracking!
