Goff passes pro day test … California junior QB Jared Goff had a very good good pro day outing earlier today, but a few too many balls hit the ground for it to be described as really special or elite. Goff, a potential top 5 prospect for the upcoming draft, went through a brisk 69-pass scripted workout that certainly should not do anything to hurt his draft status. Goff showed nice light feet moving around in the pocket as well as nice touch throwing on the move. Goff also a has quick, smooth compact delivery and throws with almost exquisite touch and accuracy on underneath routes. He also throws a very catchable and was especially comfortable on slant routes. At the same time, though, Goff clearly lacks the arm strength of some of the recent elite QB prospects and needed a little extra mustard on the longer throws resulting in a number of incompletions against air. Interestingly, an assistant coach from Cleveland, which has the 2nd pick overall in this year’s draft, had Goff throw another half dozen or so passes after his he completed his scripted program, but with a wet ball as the Browns play in a lot of poor weather conditions. If nothing else is tends to indicate that there is in fact at least some concern in Cleveland about Goff’s relatively small which were measured at 9″ at the combine and 9 1/8″ at his pro day. go figure. It also should be noted that Goff’s accuracy did drop off noticeably throwing those wet balls. No doubt Cleveland will also be front and center next Thursday when Carson Wentz, the other top-rated QB in this year’s draft class, goes through his pro at North Dakota State.
