Today is Pro Day for the Gophers.

No mention of this on the Local sports cast Wednesday evening. A little disappointed media did not even mention it.

I heard Max put on a show. Dropping dimes up and down the field to the WR's and TE's. Early audition for himself for next year.

There's some videos on twitter, he threw a pretty ball, hit guys in stride, looked nice.

What did he hit on the gun on the 3-yd TE curl route?!?

Too soon . . . ?!?

I didn’t realize current players could participate.

I've never payed attention before. If the players chose Max to make them look good on pro day, that says something to me.

AK was not available.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Oh no, video of Max has been leaked! SHUT HIM DOWN UNTIL GAME ONE!

Why even play games in Sept???

Someone might see what we have!

Did Max throw a tight Spiral? LOL.

 

[TurfGopher]

Beautiful mechanics, the quickest of read progressions, and ample arm strength. Let Brosmermania begin!

He does look 1000% better than AK.

I forgot, they don’t have film yet in NH as its too remote.

 

[50PoundHead]

Did Max throw a tight Spiral? LOL.

And can he throw it further than 40 yards?

 

[Gophergrandpa]

20% better (quicker read and release; a little more accuracy/touch) would do wonders.

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

Boomer!!!! Boomer!!!!

True but I think it's usually the QB on the team. If it wasn't Max, it would be down to freshmen, no offense to them.

Looks like Max did a great job!

Yeah, those throws looked really good. No side arm, sling shot motion. After watching just a few of his throws, I would be willing to bet my next 10 paychecks that we will have fewer passes batted down at the line of scrimmage next year. Now... we all know that it is a lot harder to complete passes with Big Ten defensive linemen coming at you. But I like what I see!

I can’t wait for Max to show up to game one with a new 3/4 throwing motion. That’s my favorite part of the season.

Obviously you said this tongue in cheek and we all hope it doesn't happen, but if something like this were to happen then we will have our answer as to why AK suddenly went from playing fantastic in Wisc & bowl game to playing poorly last season: Harbaugh Jr.

Can you post these on threads for us not on twitter?

And can he throw it further than 40 yards?

I’m actually pretty worried after watching those clips. In every video he locks onto his primary read and doesn’t work through any progressions.

 

[EG#9]

I didn't want to start a new thread but Nubin said he had meniscectomy after the season which is why he didn't work out at the combine and still wasn't back to 100% at pro day. For his sake, I hope they only needed to remove torn pieces and not the total meniscus as that could affect his draft stock (and the health of his knee later in life).

As for other guys, I haven't heard any 40 times which makes me think none of the longshots (ex Crooms/CrAB, Sean Tyler) did anything particularly notable. Team speed is a concern of mine in recent years, so it would be nice to know we had a guy or two run sub 4.5. Feels like a B1G team should always have a couple guys who run well at a pro day even if they aren't NFL players and that would speak well of recruiting and/or the strength and conditioning staff depending on the player.

I don't think so?

I'm not on Twitter but can still read them.

Thru the years it was fun watching his improvement. Great decision returning for his last year of eligibility showing the nation his talent. Will he have a better NFL career than AWjr?
