University of Washington QB Jake Locker impressed with his speed at the NFL Combine and he and Ryan Mallett apparently were more accurate than Cam Newton during their throwing sessions on Sunday in Indianapolis.
NFL analyst Rob Rang said Locker helped himself with his workout.
But others took a few shots at Locker. Mel Kiper said: “Jake Locker runs a 4.52 in the 40 yard dash. Perfect speed to chase down defenders that intercept his passes.”
Here’s an interview with Locker after the workout. He said he’s confident with how he’s throwing the ball right now. He said he’s feeling comfortable and confident with his mechanics right now. “For me the most important thing is just getting as many reps as I can throwing the football,” he said. Locker will work out two more weeks with former Jets QB Ken O’Brien in Irvine, Calif., and will get one more chance to impress NFL scouts and coaches at Washington’s pro day workout later this month.
