LeGarrette Blount arrived for Oregon’s pro day Thursday at the Moshofsky Center with one goal in mind: Run fast and improve his stock for the upcoming NFL draft. The Oregon running back was pleased after posting an unofficial time of 4.54 in the 40-yard dash, nearly one tenth of a second faster than he ran last month at the NFL combine in Indianapolis. Running in shorts and without a shirt, Blount looked in shape at a muscular 238 pounds. “It was pretty nerve wracking at the combine, so many people watching you, the hype. You can’t relax at all,” Blount said. “Here I had familiar surroundings. I was more relaxed, more laid back.” Scouts from the Cleveland Browns and BC Lions of the Canadian Football League were in attendance. Regarded as one of the nation’s premier running backs entering the 2009 season, Blount’s senior season was derailed in the opener
With less than five weeks remaining before the NFL draft, the Rams continue to cozy up with potential No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford, the quarterback from the University of Oklahoma. League sources told the Post-Dispatch that general manager Billy Devaney and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur made a trip to Florida at the start of this week to meet with Bradford, who has been training and rehabbing in Pensacola since undergoing surgery on his throwing shoulder. Devaney and Shurmur sat down with Bradford and talked football, and also met with Dr. James Andrews, who performed the surgery. Bradford’s eagerly anticipated pro day is March 29 in Norman, Okla. It will be the first time Bradford throws for NFL coaches, scouts and team executives since his shoulder injury.
