The Jaguars, Bill, Raiders and Colts turned out for Cornell quarterback Jeff Mathews' Pro Day in Ithaca yesterday. Find video of his workout and interviews with Mathews and coach David Archer here. The Ithaca Journal also has a story mentioning that Mathews worked out for the Cardinals on Monday.From the Journal:
Alan Herman, Mathews’ agent from New York-based Sportstars, Inc., was pleased with his client’s performance.
“I thought it was what we had wanted,” said Herman, who also represents former Cornell offensive tackle J.C. Tretter, now with the Green Bay Packers. “It was a really strong day, he has a terrific arm — a pro arm — and he showed it today.”Also from the Journal:
Herman said Mathews compares favorably to recent Ivy quarterbacks Jay Fiedler (Dartmouth) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (Harvard) in terms of raw ability. “We know (Mathews) is smart,” he said, “and the bottom line is, he’s as good or better in terms of his arm as Fiedler or Fitzpatrick or those guys. He has what it takes to be successful.”Green Alert Take: Having seen them both, the agent is correct. Mathews' arm doesn't have to take a back seat to either Fiedler or Fitzpatrick. The advantage those two had is they were both adept at making plays with their feet.
Tre Minor, a linebacker/defensive end also took part in Cornell's Pro Day.
