It was a rough day for former Oregon State QB Sean Canfield in the Senior Bowl. He was 2-for-4 for 38 yards and an INT.
There were sacks, which weren’t all together his fault in the all-star game setting, and a fumble.
His stock didn’t improve during the week. Reports out of Mobile, Ala., said he showed a lack of arm strength. That happens with shoulder surgery two years ago.
Canfield still has the build, experience and ability to be coached into a system. He still at least a late-round draft pick.
Check out my Sunday story in the GT on former Beavers C Kyle DeVan, now starting at RG for the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl.
He’s still the down-to-earth guy who was in Corvallis. It was like catching up with an old friend during the interview.
Kyle DeVan on his new team.

i am surprised that he had such a bad week. Everything i read was negative about him. I thought he would have done well this week after having such a great year. I didnt see that lack of arm strenght during during thebeavers season, but apparently he has had difficulty with the deep throws…strange he looked pretty accurate on the long balls at osu. Oh well hopefully somebody will see his worth. I read somewhere, but i forget where, that Denver is interested in him as a mid round pick. i guess we shall see….

He actually wasn't that accurate on his long ball. It seemed that he often overthrew the WR which basically resulted in a wasted down. The completed pass that the commentators mentioned in the game that they liked was a pop pass to the WR, it looked good. It should have looked good though because we run that play at OSU all of the time. The other completion was a PA rollout with his body (the commentators didn't really comment on this one). He completed the pass but I was disappointed in his footwork and hip placement. I am not sure what happened since the season but it sure looks like his mechanics and reads have taken a huge step back.

For some reason this comment by osbeavs is not showing up. So here it is:
