Ryan on his workout
CHESTNUT HILL -- BC quarterback Matt Ryan commented on his workout at Pro Day.
“I thought it went well," he said. "It was the first opportunity that I had to throw in front of the scouts live. I went out there and had 52 passes. I thought I showed that I could make every throw you need to make in the NFL. We went through the entire route tree and showed that I could throw on the run. Again, it’s all stuff they can see on tape and I just wanted to show what I could do in person.”
Asked about Herm Edwards’s assessment that he pressed a bit, Ryan said: “Not really. It’s tough to go out there, because like [Herm] said, there’s no rush. It’s so atypical of what goes on in football. It’s so different from how you actually play. For me, I didn’t think I pressed. I thought I went out there and threw. The first couple throws are always a little rusty when you come up. I didn’t think they were too bad.”
what does this have to do with the patriots?
they're not going to draft him
Hi gick. I hear what you're saying. Just feel like it's one of the big stories in the NFL today, and I help cover the Patriots/NFL for the Boston Globe/Boston.com. It's in our backyard and I felt that it was important to bring it to the readers of Boston.com.

Did Ricky Santos workout today? I heard a rumor that he would be participating, but his name didn't appear on your list of players who would be there today.
I for one appreciate the coverage. This is the most accomplished class of seniors to come out of BC in as long as I can remember. Matt Ryan has the potential to become a legend.
Mike thanks for the report.
Gick, it should occur to you that the City of Boston and the readers of the Globe might be interested in more than the Patriots and coverage of the only Division I's football school in the state is a legitmate story.
Hey I don't mind it either.
Just seemed like a patriots blog was a weird place to do the reporting.
How can Matt Ryan say "It was the first opportunity that I had to throw in front of the scouts live" ? Didn't he have the opportunity to throw at the combine in Indianapolis ? I thought he made the decision to not throw while there.
