NFL Draft Prospect Sam Bradford at the Gatorade Performance Lab
Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford took to the Gatorade Performance Lab to undergo a variety of tests that ranged from a caloric expenditure test to a brief sitting in the famed BodPod. All of the tests that the former Heisman Trophy winner participated in required gear that looked like it was part of the space age. Bradford was testing out a new line of Gatorade products.
The BodPod is also used at the NFL Scouting Combine to determine body fat percentages, where Bradford will showcase his skills at the end of this month.
Sam Bradford is currently the number two ranked quarterback and No. 20 on the NFL Mocks Big Board.
Bradford could have been a top five pick if he entered the 2009 draft. His decision to return to Oklahoma did more harm than good. We are still left with concerns of his toughness and ability to throw under pressure. Bradford also lacks elite arm strenghth.
What Bradford lacks in arm strength, he makes up for in accuracy. The former Heisman Trophy winner is the most accurate passer in the 2010 class.
While he has served a majority of his college career in the shotgun, Bradford does have some experience under center and that has resulted in more pro routes and progressions than the other quarterbacks in this draft.
His accuracy and quick release will land him in the first-round and he still has room to improve.
