Pat White's Pro Day
Eight players worked out at West Virginia's pro day but everyone was there to watch Pat White.
With 25 teams in attendance, White only worked out at quarterback; a curious decision for a guy that has very little chance of making it as a starting quarterback in the NFL.
While someone may take a chance on him as early as the 3rd round, it would have been smart to at least leave his options open and do some drills at receiver. Never under estimate the power that a few good workouts can have on a draft stock. Remember Matt Jones? A mediocre prospect at quarterback, Jones worked out as a receiver and climbed into the 1st round. White could be leaving a lot of money on the table by declining to try his hand at receiver, despite knowing full well that he may end up there in the long run anyway.

Would you give the guy a dam break. Every one says this and that about him playing wide reciever but its a bunch of bull shit. He obviously showed that he is an excellent qb. I would have taken him over any other qb in all of college football, even " gods gift to football" fuckin tim tebow. He can say he has done things no other quarter back can. Can Tebow say he is the all time rushing quarterback? NO. Can tebow win every bowl gam he has ever played, including the senior bowl. No. Tebow had a better supporting cast than white did. Anyways, all critics need to get off his back because he is sticking with qb and there are no 2 ways about it. Pat ur the best and god luck buddy!
