NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL
Orlando, FL March 22, 2010
We started off this morning with my annual report to the clubs. I did that with our executive vice presidents. The real focus was putting the game first and our fans first.

Pro Day Notebook: Risers & Sliders
The NFL Draft is fast approaching. Draftees have just one more chance to make an impression upon their future employers: pro days. This is the time for national scouts to get a more intimate look at first-grade talent and perhaps a more illuminating, a perspective on prospects who would otherwise go unnoticed.
With nearly half of the pro day workouts wrapped up, here is a look at a few players who are riding the coattails of a good workout to an early draft slot…and a few others who aren’t.

A Washington Post report Thursday said Bradford would have a private workout with the Rams April 12, but that is a visit, not a workout. There are no workouts allowed when players visit a team facility. There can be physicals, but Devaney said Sunday the team probably won’t have Bradford undergo a physical that day.

Draft Watch: Redskins Eager To Host Tebow
Tim Tebow, who’s expected to hear his name called in the second round or later of next month’s draft, unveiled a new throwing motion for scouts last week, which received mostly positive reviews. The Redskins are believed to be the first of at least five teams that will hold private workouts with Tebow. The Redskins were already scheduled to be in the neighborhood this weekend. The NFL’s annual owners meetings begin in Orlando, and Mike Shanahan and GM Bruce Allen were both scheduled to be present. It would seem that Shanahan and Allen would not waste time traveling to Gainesville if they had only minimal interest in the former Gator star.
