The 2011 NFL Combine Discussion Thread

Ryan Mallett gets rave reviews for Combine effort | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/27/ryan-mallett-gets-rave-reviews-for-combine-effort/)

I dunno I thought Mallet handled himself well. He wanted to discuss his situation with his potential employers first, rather than dealing with the mediots. I get that.


Out of curiosity, I viewed the Mallet interview and came away with a favorable impression.

Some people love to jump on the band wagon of flaming the rumors about drug use. The print media is so jacked-up about Cam Newton that they will do anything to discredit any other QB.

I would take Mallet any day over Newton. Cam is a good actor and should pursue a career in acting after his football stay.

Sure he doesn't want to talk about it, but the rumors have been there for a while. Like the one reporter said, he's going to have to address it at some point, so he might as well just answer the questions. I mean, Cam Newton knows he's going to get grilled about his red-flags. You simply have to man up and answer the tough questions. That what these interview sessions are all about.

Plus, how about his smart-ass, arrogant response to questions about his on the field decision making: “Seven thousand-plus yards and 60 touchdowns in two seasons. That’s how I respond to that.”

Really, Ryan? That's very mature of you.

Side note- A friend of mine who is also a co-worker is an Arkansas native/alumnus. He told me over a year ago about the rumors that Mallett is a big fan of the nose candy. This stuff has been floating around about him for a while.

The Matt Jones Arkansas connection?

Dude cmon really. I was thinking Mallet = Rivers. He throws a tight ball

Mallett has a very fine arm. But I don't see Shanny drafting him due to his lead feet.

He's not a Shanahan type of QB that's for sure. He's going to be a statue in the pocket. But at least he's big enough to take the punishment, and he should be able to muscle his way out of some sacks.

I want nothing to do with Mallett dude is a problem waiting to happen

@ Matty, I dont really know how to explain why but he just seems like he has the type of attitude or personality of people I've know that drugs. This is the only interview I've ever seen of him though, but he just seems like a dude that likes to party.

@Gmscud, yeah I thought that comment really made him come across as a douch bag
