Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan announced moments ago that he won't throw at the combine. He wants to wait until the Boston College Pro Day on March 18.
"I want to give teams an accurate reflection of how I throw the ball," he said. "I want to throw to guys I know."
Ryan said he's talked to Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland and head coach Tony Sparano, and would love to play in Miami.
"It would be unbelievable," he said. "It may end up working out."
Ryan grew up an Eagles fan, so he learned to root against Bill Parcells. But it sound like he might be coming around. He and Brian Brohm have both been pretty impressive in their interviews.
"What's the coolest thing you've done in your life," a reporter just asked Ryan.
I'm hoping it wasn't Sando. At the other end of the room, Texas receiver Limas Sweed is addressing reporters. I covered the Class 4A Texas state title game that his Brenham team lost to Denton Ryan six years ago. Sweed has had problems with his wrist. Not sure if he's planning to work out.
Oh, and Ryan said he is going to run at the combine. I'm having dinner this evening with an AFC college scouting director who's in love with Ryan.
