Pro day to be crucial for OSU's Smith

After poor reviews at NFL Scouting Combine, Buckeyes quarterback needs good performance

By Marla Ridenour

Beacon Journal sportswriter

Troy Smith barely had returned from the NFL Scouting Combine when an ESPN analyst called the Ohio State quarterback one of the biggest busts in Indianapolis.
The Heisman Trophy winner was criticized for limiting his workout to throwing and for uttering the dreaded words ``banquet circuit.'' A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article then said Smith had scored a below-average 15 on his first try at the Wonderlic Test, a psychological exam.

Cont'd...


At Ohio State, those not invited to the combine, such as backup quarterback Justin Zwick of Massillon, guard T.J. Downing of GlenOak, receiver Roy Hall of Brush and cornerback Antonio Smith of Columbus, can ensure they'll be in an NFL camp this summer with impressive performances. Tailback Antonio Pittman of Buchtel and receiver Anthony Gonzalez of St. Ignatius could reinforce their strong workouts in Indianapolis, where Pittman tied for fastest in his group with a 4.40 in the 40-yard dash, and Gonzalez ran a 4.44.


Flanker/kick returner Ted Ginn Jr., who suffered a midfoot sprain in the BCS title game ``is not going to do anything,'' his father, Ted Ginn Sr., said Wednesday night. The elder Ginn did not know when his son would be able to work out.

These guys are on the hot seat, doing everything in their power to impress folks for a future job. I don't think they need the public all over the place during their "interview."

There will be reports posted as to what everybody did and how that compairs with others in the past... we'll find out soon enough how these guys did... I hope they can get some sleep tonight and perform well when their time is called...

Ginn doesn't need to run a 40. The only thing that he could do is let scouts down.... As we stand now, he's a top 10 pick........some team is probably going to gamble on him based on his speed alone......... If he came out and ran a low 4.4, he could drop to a mid to late 1st round pick.

I'm not saying I want to see Ginn run for the purpose of him proving himself, I just want to see what kind of numbers he can put up.

I know we all have seen his lightning speed, I just want to see how it actually translates to a 40 time, for comparison purposes.
