Will TP succeed as a Pro

i don't think his stock has changed much from the combine. he was a mid-late second round pick at best before the combine, and that's probably where it stands now.

I agree with this.  His combine performance did little to improve his status although it seems like a lot other guys did improve their status at the combine which could serve to hurt Petteway's draft chances if he was jumped by guys that were below him. 

 

While getting drafted might help Nebraska recruiting, it is usually better for guys drafted at the end of the second round to not be drafted at all.  That allows them to pick their own location where they may have a better chance of making a roster.

 

 

That is essentially how Erick Strickland made it. He got to select Dallas as his home, and made the best of it. Signed a multi-year deal after his rookie year which also benefited him financially compared to a late-rounder.

Would love to see him go late first round if possible as he says he might. Out of all the teams he worked out for I hope he ends up in Detroit as that would give me a reason to actually go to the games

His Pistons workout is coming up soon. I'll keep an eye open for reports.

Is it just me, or is it both exciting and relieving that we have this type of news to look forward to in the off-season?

 

It's definitely an intriguing side-show during the LONG off-season. Hopefully TP5 goes to where he can find a role & then mesh quickly.

 

 

The workouts continue...so there is interest:

 

 

Sure would like to see Petteway get picked up in the Draft and makes the Roster!  nod.gif
