Cliff: Pro day report Comments
Oregon State ran its pro day combine for the NFL on Friday. About 15 scouts came to Corvallis to collect data on the Beavers.
There were 12 athletes who went through at least some portion of the drills. It was a small showing for players and scouts this year.
Of the 12, there were six from previous years still trying to get noticed. They were Joe Lemma, Bryant Cornell, Chris Johnson, Dennis Christopher, Brandon Powers and Shane Morales.
The latest crop of Beavers were Sean Canfield, Ben Terry, Patrick Henderson, Damola Andeniji, Keaton Kristick and Gregg Peat.
Tim Clark was there but plans to do his pro day April 1 in Los Angeles. He got a late start to training from the broken leg suffered in the Civil War.
Check out Terry on the bench press above. The video just below is of Peat on the bench.
Canfield did the vertical jump and threw to receivers only. He looked strong and accurate. He said the difference from the NFL combine and today was he got more throws in and had a rhythm.
Kristick, OSU’s other top prospect, said he had an decent day and improved in some areas from the combine. Kristick heard he is a middle round draft pick. Check out his bench below.
Here are the bench numbers. They had to put up 225 pounds as many times as they could. Adeniji 8, Henderson 16, Kristick 18, Peat 23, Terry 21, Christopher 17, Johnson 18, Cornell 24, Powers 13, Lemma 20.
Terry turned in a strong performance in the vertical and long jump. He looked agile for a DE. Henderson was overall athletic. Cornell did well being a year removed from the game. Here’s Terry in the 40-yard dash.
Adeniji drew some interest from his speed and catching passes. A few scouts took an interest in Peat after his OL drill work.
Here are some unofficial 40 times for some of the guys: Kristick 4.72, Terry 4.76, Adeniji 4.58, Peat 5.23 and Cornell 4.59. Here’s Kristick’s 40.
What got to the athletes were the cone/shuttle drills. They show their burst of speed and flexibility. The scouts were very specific how they were to be done.
The following videos are a sampling of the 20-yard shuttle, 60-yard shuttle and 3-cone drill.
More from pro day will be in Saturday’s GT with interviews from those who went through it.
