He dropped a pass.

Oof, can’t be doing that in front of the scouts.

This Kansas qb isn't helping him much either.

Fortunately, he shined in the 3 practices.

Yeah, Wortham has been open 3x's and not even looked at.

The game matters so much less than the practices do, guys. The NFL coaches in attendance pretty much make up their minds on who they like before the game ever starts.

Any idea why Wortham is on the East squad

They have a florida player on the west it doesn't make much sense

If you look at the rosters, there appears to be no reason why any player is on a particular roster.

Most these games have been that way for several years now. Bout the same time the week of practice prior to the game became more important than the game itself.

wasn't it the shrine game where zabel from nodak state elevated himself to a first round draft choice? i think a good week of practice can help a guy's prospects a lot. the game itself isn't the most important aspect of being there, it is competing against other prospects in practices that informs the scouts the most.

Nope, zabel was at the senior bowl in Mobile Alabama which is considered by most experts the best all-star college game

He was named practice player of the week..that's when he really elevated his draft status and got picked mid first round by the seahawks..

NDSU will have two starters on the offensive line for Seattle, Jalen Sundell starting center and Zabel at offensive guard.. not bad for an FCS team.

Along with the distracting coverage, made it difficult to watch. The focus on the West coach was really bizarre; he had more face time than the game at times.

Had a nice KO return late.

 

[SinCityGriz2005]

Not so long ago they all used to be amateurs. Now they're paid professionals.

Yeah man, but the way he stops, starts, cuts, and then smokes the coverage is jaw dropping.

Yea, everything I read or watched about Wortham during practices was good except a few drops on day 1. No way you can see much of a player in a game when the coach has RBs, TEs and WRs (24 players) to cycle through the game. He was smart to get the kick return job for most of the game. Lots of camera time.
