On writing about a Pro Day without actually being there
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 17, 2011, 3:09 PM EDT
Pittsburgh wide receiver Jonathan Baldwin participated in his Pro Day on Tuesday. We didn’t hear much about it except this so-so review from Russ Lande of the Sporting News on the event.
“Wide receiver Jon Baldwin has been called a first-round prospect by some in the media, but that’s just crazy talk,” Lande wrote. “Although he didn’t drop a pass in Tuesday’s workout, he still traps way too many balls against his body instead of reaching out and snatching them.”
Baldwin took exception to that criticism in comments to NFP, pointing out Lande wasn’t even at the Pro Day. We talked to one of Baldwin’s mentors John Thornton on Thursday, who also disputed Lande’s account.
Thornton said Baldwin got terrific feedback from teams and didn’t struggle with trapping the ball whatsoever. He also noted Lande wasn’t at the Pro Day.
