Former Oregon State DT Stephen Paea came by the lunch room. He’s getting ready for his own personal pro day Thursday.
He’s not doing the bench press, just the jumping and running. Paea said he hopes to show the scouts that he can run after his knee surgery.
His knee is not 100 percent, yet. Another three weeks he would, but time is running out before the NFL draft.
Paea said that if there is no NFL season in the fall he’s going to come back to OSU and get a second degree. He has one in sociology and wants another in finance.
Mike Riley just walked in and said Ryan Katz had positive results of this CT scan. He’s cleared to start throwing on the side of practice.
“It’s just like I said, he’ll be able to throw in (scrimmage situations) in two weeks,” Riley said. “I don’t mind him throwing slowly and working on throwing slower. He doesn’t need a 95 mph fastball every time.”
RB Jordan Jenkins banged his arm the first day of practice. He’ll take it easy today.

Mike Maycock from NFL Network has Paea as a top 32 prospect in the draft and the #5 DT overall. I respect Maycock’s opinion. Considering this may be the best DT collection in recent memory, that is putting Paea in good company.

I find it very hard to believe that Paea is the fifth rated DT in this draft. I can see having Fairley and Dareus, but i do not believe that Phil Taylor (Baylor) or Muhammed Wilkerson (Temple) are better pro prospects. And even some guys have Corey Liuget ahead of Paea. Time will tell though, but i’d put my money on Stephen.
